no more than humans do. If there are rats and roaches in your area they probably already living in your house and garden, but they wont specially close in on your house because you have a g-pig

Nope they wont attract vermin as a guinea pig will kill a mouse/rat and a ferret will kill a guinea pig. But make sure the food you have outside the cage ready for your guinea pigs is covered or else you will get a rodent problem, but nothing a little rat poison wont fix.

Guinea pigs are usually considered pets.

Vermin is usually an animal that ends up in what us humans think of as "the wrong Place", or in too big numbers.

Mice, living in the wild aren't vermin. When they raid the pantry in a cabin they become vermin.

Guinea pigs could become vermin, if they were to go feral someplace and breed to a large population.

No, they are lovable, cute pets- you can buy them from your pet store, unlike vermin they do not infest houses and out buildings etc and are not known to carry disease.
