Auburn is the seat of DeKalb County, about a northbound drive up I-69 from Fort Wayne. Cedar Creek runs through town. Downtown has the museum and the weekends people visit for. The attics we get called about are quieter than festival traffic, and something is living in them.
Older homes near downtown have the classic openings. Gable vents, chimneys that need a cap, soffits that have dried out. Toward Garrett and the edges of town, newer houses sit next to fields. Both kinds get squirrels. Bats show up where a gap is about as wide as a thumb and the porch light keeps the bugs coming.
If you are in Auburn, Garrett, or Waterloo and something is in the house, start with the noise and the ZIP. 46706 covers a lot of Auburn. We will tell you if we can come look, and what the next step is. You do not have to identify the animal on the phone.
