Default What insect is this?

What kind of insects are these?
How do I get rid of them?

Thanks a lot!

Looks like a "box elder beetle" which like maple trees as much a box
elder trees.


the looking alike in this bug and the box elder "bug" is because they
are "true bugs". Box elder bugs however are red and black and a bit
rounder at the shoulders. A side by side comparison of the two can be
found here... just scroll down a little
