Tiny winged bugs on window sill. #310752

Asked April 02, 2016, 6:09 PM EDT

I recently noticed these bugs crawling around the house. I didnt notice them until after I had the doors open a lot a few days as I worked on the house. They are located primarily around the window sills. They craw and are dark domeshaped but they can fly. What kind of bugs are these and how can I get rid of them?
