Did you find a cure for them?

Can't tell much from the picture.
My neighbor had an infestation of these:

Every morning, there were thousands of them on his kitchen counter.

Turns out that his sewer pipe had rusted thru and there was a big
puddle of sewage under his house.
Fixing the pipe and an exterminator fixed the bug infestation.
