    They are everywhere around this time a year at my house. We had actually bought a bug pesticide spray last year. Sprayed our front door area outside and around where they are hanging out. Gets rid of them! Although the spray is not cheap we purchased from Poulins works amazing. Used it on the tent caterpillars as well!!!

    Although they look much like them but more orange and have many spots.. Nasty little things. They are called either lady beetles or Asian beetles I believe. They winter in crevices and so love the side of houses or walls inside. They cluster together... I don't believe lady bugs survive the winter.. Look these guys up. They are a pest.

    I would take the bugs over the snakes that are over running the lawn and under one little hole in the garage door and coming into the garage.  
     
    The dog can only torment so many snakes in one day.

    Yes we are infested with these insects! I've been using the power vac to suck them up.
