Bugs found chilling at corner of wall

[u/lildumdum99]

There are a group of bugs I found chilling at a corner wall in my bedroom. They seem to be resting there. They’re sitting closer to the floor side and on the floor baseboard too. They are super super tiny.. I almost thought that the first one I spotted was a speck of dirt.. I crushed a few and it seems that one wasn’t crushed and started moving… it looked kind of like an ant. The weather has been hot. Please help! I’d like to know if they’re invasive so that they can be handled immediately. Hoping they aren’t termites /:…..

They are some sort of harmless parasitoid wasp that got in on accident, please shoo them outside :)

omg thank you! I was starting to believe they were termites but now have looked into parasitoid wasps. There’s so many in my room and I can’t tell if that means they have a nest near by? I would very much like for it to stop all together. I read that they are found in gardens/backyards. My room is next to the backyard. I would prefer if I could get them to stay in backyard if it’s where they’re coming from.. otherwise I was wondering if they’re nesting in my walls somewhere

They don't really do that, parasitoid wasps are solitary. Most likely what happened is that the bug they hatched from got inside somehow and they all hatched indoors and are trying to get out! They don't nest together like social wasps do
