There is a late night program that tell you what household products get rid of bugs. I want to know how to get rid of these ugly June beetles? Do anyone know what that product is or what's the name of the guy who shows the product demonstration with the bugs?

June beetles are around in May and June, not now. You are probably seeing Asian ladybugs which have been a problem in the fall ever since they were introduced to the US in the late 1980s.
Studies at some leading universities have found the best way to control them is to get three tubes of caulk and a caulk gun and go around the house and fill every crack and hole you can find, especially on the south and west sides. It's a lot of work but these Asian ladybugs get between the outer wall of the house and the inner wall. If they find a hole in the inner wall, well, then they are in your house. Once there the best control is a vacuum. If ther are quite a few you may want to use a vacuum with a disposable bag. The vacuum beats them around a little and they smell bad.
The beauty of caulk is it works for years and it keeps out a lot of other pests like spiders, ants, millipedes, etc.
You other option is to get a hose-end sprayer and spray the sides of your house with malathion or sevin. This will kill most of them before they can get between the walls. The downside is you have to do it every year. The first year may be an emergency and your only option but do you really want to have to spray your house every year? And who wants to live in a house coated with pesticide?
Go for the caulk. I did it and I had exactly 3 of them show up in my house all last autumn and winter.

Honestly I searched everywhere online for a remedy for you. The only answers i can find are either call Terminex or let a Gecko loose in your home. I would go with the first idea.

My dad chanced on an intresting thank you to kill fleas on your place. All you prefer is a bowl or bucket of water with somewhat detergent and a mild. you purely blend somewhat detergent interior the water and place it decrease than a night gentle on the floor or everywhere. The fleas will leap on the gentle and rapidly drown interior the water. Its exciting to be sure each and all of the fleas you are able to seize.

June beetles don't go into a house. (well maybe one by accident).
I'd call an exterminator. Could be cockroaches.

Geckos--turn them loose in your home. You will never see them or the bugs again....
