Ah! They are attacking!

These bugs come every year about this time. We cut their tree down a few years back which was a host to about 10,000 of them. I guess they found another tree to inhabit.

If your wondering, all those ones in the picture are dead :D!

Apparently they're October bugs.

box elder bugs. We've got them swarming the south side of our house right now as well. Don't know where they come from, but when you see one you see hundreds.

You'll probably forget about them until next year, same time. There's nothing that can be done about them as literally thousands can hatch out of a single nest...and I'll bet there's several nests around there.

Spraying them with soapy water will kill them. It's just too much of a pain in the butt to bother with.
