: I live in Saskatchewan, Canada and we have black & red/orange bugs that come out every year in October. We call them halloween bugs or karagana bugs. What are they really and how can I get rid of them? Is there anything safe I can use in the house as quite a few of them are getting in.

you have either harlequin or box elder bugs.
spray a good residual pesticide like ficam w on the entry points outside the house, twice, 2 weeks apart. ficam w can be used inside also.
small glueboards can be placed in the windowsills to catch them also
