Plus swallows eat a lot of bugs.
In our case, the barn cat does a decent job of decimating the herd of swallows.Ha! True, that. But the hay is stored in the loft, where the swallows can't get access. The adults like to build nests in the horse stalls, between the ceiling joists. The horses don't mind.
When the little ones fledge, though, I have to worry that the horses don't inadvertently step on them as they flutter around before the can get to the doors!
