Hilliard grew fast, and the houses show both eras. Old Hilliard has roofs that have been through a lot of winters. The plats around it have builder vents, long gables, and lots that still back up to a ditch or a leftover tree line. Squirrels notice the vents. Raccoons notice the trees.
Ground-level calls are common too. A round hole under a shed, or cones of dirt in a new lawn, often means a groundhog. Skunks borrow the same kind of opening once it exists. Filling it while something is inside is how the smell moves into the house.
ZIP 43026 is on a normal route. Tell us whether the noise is at dawn, after dark, or not a noise at all. A hole in the yard is a clue by itself.
