Probably a box elder bug, especially if they seem to be coming out of your walls. Do they walk on your ceiling and then just fall clumsily off onto you? Don't worry, they're harmless, they neither eat nor poop nor sting. The adults lay eggs in the walls which hatch when the warm days of summer arrive. If this IS what you are battling, there is probably a box elder tree within a few hundred yards of your house.

Killing them is almost a hopeless battle. You can spray exterior walls, cracks, etc. with malathion or Ortho Bug killer, after repeated applications you'll have fewer but you'll never get rid of them. Tear the wall apart and you'll see why. Zillions of them. They're an annoyance mostly.
