Westerville sits on Alum Creek, with an older uptown and neighborhoods that kept adding houses toward the reservoir. Raccoons use the creek corridor. Squirrels use the street trees. Bats use a gap at the soffit that does not look like a gap from the sidewalk.
Uptown and the older streets have chimneys, real gable vents, and porch roofs that have been reworked. Farther out, builder vents and fascia corners are the usual doors. A house does not have to be old to have a tenant upstairs.
ZIP 43081 is a normal stop. Tell us the time of day and the room under the noise. If the smell is under the porch instead of in the ceiling, say that too. Skunks and opossums stay at ground level.
