Walked outside and saw thousands of these all over my car. The entire car looked just like this small area in the picture. They appear to fly.
 
Do you sleep in your car? If so they are prolly bed bugs.

Actually,

I think they are Ceratopogonidae or flying midges.

The easiest way to get rid of them is use permethrin as your LSP.

Hmmm...I think diethyltoluamide is more appropriate.

Well, if it was up to me - I'd bring back DDT. It's an excellent pesticide. Bed bugs were eradicated, then some wacko came out with a book saying DDT was bad for the birds or something.

Now we have no DDT and I have to freak out after every itch I get when staying in a hotel.

Wax attractes everything, including bugs.

I'll defintely agree that certain waxes/sealants tend to attract stuff, or at least more to a noticeable degree.

That seemed to be the case with me and meguiars ultimate liquid wax. No such issues with my other lsp's.

Whats your lsp for interests sake?
 
I sprayed them with a hose and it knocked quite a few off. It rained a short period later, and this morning they have appeared to have moved on.
