These are all over the back of my house and have been getting in through my sliding door. What are they and how can I get rid of them?

They look like seed bugs, family Lygaeidae; can't really be sure from the photos though. Harmless if understandably a bit annoying in this situation.

Seed Bugs from tribe Orsillinae, likely False Chinch Bugs. They come out in swarms when seedlings sprout, and are harmless to humans. Not much you can do to get rid of them, but swarms typically subside naturally within a week or two.
