The cockroach has been implicated in outbreaks of illness, the transmission of a variety of pathogenic organisms including at least one parasitic protozoan, and allergic reactions in many people.  This species has worldwide distribution.
Ants  are one of the most successful groups of insects.  They are social insects that live in colonies which are usually located in the ground, but may enter buildings for shelter and or food.  Ants feed on practically every kind of food, but those entering homes are looking for sweets and or protein containing substances.
Scorpions are nuisance pests, and are also of medical importance because of their stings.  Their stings can result in a mild wasp-like sting, which can be complicated by an allergic reaction, and can be fatal in rare instances.    Scorpions are nocturnal feeders.  They feed mostly on insects and spiders.   If water is available, they can survive for months without food.
House Cricket typically surface feed, leaving the surface roughened from pulling or picking the fibers loose while feeding.  Large areas of fabric may be eaten out.
Centipedes occasionall invade structures, especially where they survive on flies, spiders, etc. Although they may be found anywhere in a house, the usual places are damp basements, bathrooms, damp closets, and potted plants.
Silver fish hide during the day and prefer to hide or rest in tight cracks or crevices.  they can be found almost anywhere in a house including living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, attics, basements, and garages.
Fleas cause discomfort by biting, but they can also transmit several diseases such as plague and murine typhus.  Fleas are found throughout the United States and the rest of the world.
Dog Tick often brought indoors after a walk through fields and woods. Ticks may transmit serious virus diseases.
