You can vacuum them up and throw the bag away outside. You can also fill a quart jar with water and a squirt of dish soap. The bugs will drown.
Inside vacuum them up and toss the vacuum cleaner bag or bag where you dump the tank outside and away from the house. Check around the house perimeter -- windows, doors etc. to find out how they are getting in so you can stop the flow in. Give the house a good cleaning and move on. Usually you don't need to spray or call in anyone to get rid of them if it is just a few rogue critters coming in.
Outside, unless they are causing problems with eating your vegetation or such, leave them alone. They are not pretty, but at least where I am, many of the beetle varieties are actually helpful to your garden. Now there are some leaf eating ones that are bad, but a google search can help you tell the difference.
I would download this PDF file and follow the instructions. I have made many different types of traps to traps bugs in my home. This one is a great trap and it should do the trick for you. edis.ifas.ufl.edu/
