Roaches would definitely do it for me.
I'm not a big fan of pesticides, either. We use them on our fruit trees and I use them when there is no other option but I prefer safer methods. We will be getting lacewings this spring (the house plants will be kept away from the fruit trees this year for that reason). This should be an interesting experiment.

Good luck!

I'm not sure if you have American roaches in your area, but yes, they were more than enough to persuade me to keep my plants inside. Most years, we see them around here in small numbers during the hottest part of the summer, but several years ago, they were a plague.

These guys are very large roaches. They are big enough that they make audible noises (buzzes and clicks). They fly. And one of their "survival" instincts is apparently to fly towards danger (i.e. people).
