They are called box elder bugs......they live in box elder trees and the only way to get rid of them totally is to find the tree and cut it down.
I used a solution of water and dish soap...I found this recipe on the internet. If you spray them or spray around the porch or wherever they are coming in, this does seem to help. If you spray on the bug...it will kill them.
I know they are a nuisance.....good luck!

Sounds like boxelder bugs. The local home improvement garden center always has bug killer stuff for those pesky rascals.
