Oh Bare so very sorry. They are probably from the retention pond, even if almost dried up. My only learned advise so far is shut off all lights when you go out but that dang post light does not go out. I though I had the electrician kill the sensor yesterday from my lit name sign which he did but the post light still came on. I kow light is one of the attracting features. This morning they will all be dead on the floor in your house. I have not checked the garage yet this morning, I will wait until daylight. Also they smear so do not try and brush them off when they are alive with a broom or you will have to repaint. One of my neighbors got a few on her yellow shirt last night and she wiped them off with her hand and the bugs smeared her shirt Do not bother spraying. We had pest control here yesterday and last night the outside of the house was covered by the thousands. And and yes they swarm in as soon as you open the door. I did not have dinner last night as I did not want to open the garage door in the dark and go to LSL as I thought the bugs would come in. It is a nightmare, at night and they are around in the day too.
