They are not known for biting people or transmitting human diseases.
They do not have the venomous sting associated with certain insects, and their presence does not automatically indicate a serious sanitation problem.
However, there are still practical reasons to control them.
They can damage paper products, contaminate stored items through their presence, and become frustrating when they appear repeatedly.
Some people may also find their appearance distressing.

The main concern is usually property damage and the underlying conditions that support the infestation, rather than direct physical danger to people.
