Unfortunately, the only way to get rid of them is the trim the trees they are using to climb up there. They can jump about 4 feet so you have to cut them back or trim them shorter then the roof line.

If the removal is not urgent, wait until the young are raised and the family leaves. You can then clean up the mess (feces, food and damage to the building) and board it up so that they cannot return. Otherwise, it is really not a DIY operation and you will need to hide a professional to do the job.
