Flies
Musca domestica and related species
Flies move between waste and food in seconds, carrying whatever they last landed on.
Ants
Ant trails into a building mean a nest somewhere nearby. Killing the trail does not kill the nest.
Wasps
A wasp nest near a doorway or a play area is a genuine danger. Do not disturb it.
Snakes
Snakes come for the rodents. Deal with the rodents and you have dealt with most of the problem.

Most spiders are harmless, but webbing in a food or retail space is not acceptable.
Centipedes
Centipedes indoors mean damp and clutter — and a supply of smaller insects to hunt.
Scorpions
Scorpions shelter in rubble, woodpiles and stored material, and sting when trodden on or handled.
