I'd squash the mozzies, no warning given. I know they are a minor means of population control in some overpopulated areas of the world, but that doesn't make me like them any better.
Bees and wasps; Hibernia gives them a verbal warning and a surprising number leave. Those that don't end up flat - but I leave any room with one in, because being stung would at the least necessitate a visit to A&E and probably more drama than I can face.
I guess the birds and animals learned from the mozzies that you don't kill them and assume you will always be able to avoid them no matter what they do.
The snails now, I think they could be a plot device, like following the spiders in whichever HP book. They could be the first evidence of the opening of the rift to the other world inhabited mainly by snails and mice, for example. Maybe finding snails in a closed room where they had not been the day before... perhaps a potato store?
