We don't have those, but we have Maple bugs (Boxalder bugs) and they are everywhere, in the house, on the house, flying around. I absolutely hate them!!! They are suppose to be cyclical (7 years), but I'm not convinced they are.

Can you post a picture of the bugs? We have some black bugs here that come out at dusk and they are obnoxious. larger than a gnat, but just as annoying.

These are basically orange ladybugs.

I thought I was the only one being swarmed by these ladybugs. They are everywhere. Inside and out. We can't figure out how they get in but they do. The outside of the house is coated in them. They are at all the windows and I even had one land in the sink while I was brushing my teeth. SO goes around with the shop vac and sucks them up. Five minutes later we have them again. It's like this every fall for us. DD is the only one happy about it. She likes to catch them and let them crawl on her hand.
