Inside would drive me mad. We get the ants swarming inside and I have taken to hoovering up some "anti-ant" powder as well call it, then hovering up the ants.
We're getting Christmas beetles at the moment but thankfully on the outside of the house because these things are the Lancaster bombers of beetles. They're about the size of knuckle to knuckle on my thumb.

This one is an emerald tip Christmas beetle. Mostly they're just plain brown.
They're that big that when they hit the windows they kill themselves. They're drawn to light and night is usually the only time we can open windows in the summer, so no blinds down.
So there's a growing pile of them under every windrow. Nothing eats them. The very first year we were here in Australia, they literally carpeted the ground in a thick layer around and under every tree.
