Does it mean individuals ("I designate Joe and Alice")? Or does it mean creature types ("I designate rats, beetles and dogs"), or some combination of them? Makes a huge difference to the usefulness of the spell.

As a DM, I'll assume that you exclude your party members, horses, mules, familiars, animal companions, etc. along with normal insects and harmless animals within the area such that the spell doesn't immediately go off because some fly or mouse enters yoru camp.
