Lol.  They are smart?  Seriously though, do you have any trees 
overhanging your roof?  And tree stumps close to your house?  I would 
look for an external nest very near the house, or a nest in an open area 
of your roof or foundation.  perhaps they dont normally come inside 
because its a long way to walk, but a short way to fly?
