Bluebirds seem to prefer a house on a post in an open area rather than
on a tree or side of a building, however if nothing else is available
they will sometime use them.

If you have squirrels, they will gnaw the opening to try and get in.
Two ways to discourage them that I have used is (1)-use your stapler
and put a lot of them around the opening. Or (2)-cut a 3 inch square
of copper with a hole the same size as the opening and tack it over
the opening.
