I find a lot of bots hitting port 22, 23 and 25. There can be a lot of activity on port 80 and 443 as well. I don't have anything listening on 22, 23 or 25 that that doesn't bother me. I have my telnet port listening on port 2030 just to avoid all that.

If someone was bothering you I'd block them at the firewall.

You can also block IP's at the bottom of the inet.bbb but I think you need to block each service you have open and want blocked.
