AIBU?
To ask husband to speak with her about coming into the house?

I don't know why this is suddenly a thing but my husband's ex keeps just waltzing into our house whenever she drops their children off (they aren't young).
She never used to do this and would either stay in the car or at the door, the most in the hallway if raining and they needed to chat about something.
She's not a nice woman, I won't go into everything on here but she's made our lives very difficult in the past and has been absolutely hideous to my husband on multiple occasions (really, really nasty) and has even gone so far as slating our DC before which I won't ever forget or forgive.
As such, I don't speak to her outside of the odd hi and bye if I ever do come face to face with her. I'm civil when we happen to see each other and have never directly spoken to her about these issues because I don't think that's my place, but I don't seek out friendly chit chat or anything because I do not like her.
Anyway, the past few times she's been she's just strode into our house like she owns the place, through into the living room and even kitchen last week (back of the house) to "bring DSCs stuff in" (it's rucksack that just contains the electronics they bring to and from as they have everything else here), they could quite easily bring it themselves.
I'm not feeling well this week and was lay on the sofa in my PJs last night and in she waltzed. DH had just been about to go to the door as he'd seen them pull up but she got there first and she walked into the living room.
I don't want this woman walking around my house whenever she feels like it and certainly not when I'm unwell and just trying to chill out.
AIBU to tell DH to speak to her and ask her not to do this. If she was a nicer person perhaps we could be friendlier but she's made it clear she's no intention of that over the years so stay out of my home.
I wouldn't even mind the odd time if she thought we hadn't heard them come in and she needed to pop her head round to speak to DH or something but she just strides in like she owns the place.
(No it isn't their previous family home, it's a house me and DH bought together years ago).
Am I being unreasonable?

Had thieves open the unlocked door and take car keys and subsequently the car before, about 20 years ago. Admittedly on a truly sh!tty estate, but still. I didn't even hear them open the door. So just lock the doors! The only time our house is unlocked is back door if we're in the garden, front door if in front garden/car
