After having nearly any bug problems in the many, many years I’ve been in my home…new tenants who JUST moved in on the top floor alerted me last night to an infestation they seemed to have in their bedroom (top floor, rear window where there IS a good deal of ivy hanging).

I’ve never seen anything like this…brownish/black insects about 1/2 – 3/4 long with legs and wings. They seem to be coming in droves. They appear to me to be more of an “outdoor” bug…maybe in the beetle family, but I really don’t know.

Our plan is to cut back the ivy today, but I wonder if anyone has had a similar problem, might know what this bug is, and most importantly….can anyone recommend a good exterminator???!!!

Many thanks.
