Not to be an alarmist, but I imagine that they're bringing food in with them, right? I imagine that food leavings will eventually bring other pests. Also, I have to admit that I'm not sure of the bathroom habits of the common squirrel... but there may be a problem sooner or later. Finally, I suppose that sooner or later one of them might just die 'in bed', leaving you with a rather large problem. When you fix the entrance, make sure that everyone is out of the structure first! I know that pest control companies have 'one way' doors that they can attach to the entrance point - not sure if you can rent these or not, but it would be a great idea.
