I only have seen them I the south and we called them rhino beetles:

We used to vacuum them up and dump the bags in the trash. A few never bothered me. A bunch you may need professional help. They are harmless and hideous!

There are so many beetles that look similar in different stages of life that it becomes a real chore to ID just which beetle you have.

If you take a couple more pictures (closer up would be better) and send them to this site, they may be able to ID it correctly so you can research how to remove them from your house as some can multiple quickly.

Here are some common beetles that look similar.

Most bugs do their feeding at night so you may not see very many until they reproduce so don't be fooled if you only see one or two.

Some may say they are harmless but every bug you see is eating "something" so weigh that against whether you want them in your house.
