Worthington is an old village wrapped in newer streets, with the Olentangy on the west side. The combination is good for people and very good for raccoons. A loose soffit on a village house is a spring den. A tree over a newer roof is a squirrel highway.
Village roofs have been patched, flashed, and painted for a long time. Fascia gaps hide behind the gutter. Chimneys need a cap that actually stays on. Out toward the river, decks and sheds pick up skunks and opossums that never bother climbing.
If you are in 43085, we can take a look. You do not have to climb into the attic first. A time of day and a room are enough to start.

Common wildlife calls in Worthington
A torn soffit on a village house
Raccoons pull a corner and make it a door, especially in spring.
Squirrels in the maples
Scratching at sunrise usually means a nest, sometimes with young.
Something under the deck
Opossums use a gap that is already there. They do not dig their own.
