If they're small, like about 1/2 inch or so, that would probably be a Box Elder bug. They're harmless, and they just come in for the warmth and they'll then die. They aren't disease ridden but they do kill trees. Good luck, I never bothered about them.

It sounds like German beetles, or more commonly known in America as roaches. If you see one on the wall, there are hundreds in the wall. Please call your local exterminator. It will take several weeks of treatments to rid your home of this infestation. The only drawback is that your neighbors will have to do the same. They tend to migrate rapidly from one place to another.If you chase them out they go to your neighbor, if they chase them out they come to you......If you live in an apartment, have the building fumigated all at once. If your landlord won't do it, call housing authority, they will move you and charge it to the landlord.

not sure but sounds like ladybugs or japanese beetles. they swarm this time of the year, and try to come inside your house for more warmth. not sure how to get rid of them besides what we do. use a vacum cleaner hose and suck em up. good luck
