The Cobra Lily might be useful for keeping the population of indoor pests down w/o the use of pesticides or adding too many additional beneficial insects.

            Cobra Lily is perhaps the most spectacular of all carnivorous plants, with the appearance of a cobra ready to strike. Found in wet areas of Western Oregon and Northern California, the Cobra Lily traps its prey in its hooded pitcher, from which there is no escape. This is a prized addition to any carnivorous plant collection, but cultivation can be challenging as the soil must be kept cool and very damp. Some people provide water every day by adding distilled ice chips, which serves to cool the soil. It appears that soil pH is not important, but the plant does require careful attention. Grows 18" - 24" in height and prefers light shade. </DIV>
