He blew them off with an air hose the first time and the next day they were back. He blew them off again and so far they haven't returned. He texted me the pic so I could ask the bug experts on here. He's worried that since it's an older garage they could be termites. Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

When I would take it to work on afternoon, as soon as it got dark it would get covered in little bugs. And it was a metal building, so they weren't termites. Dave 1981 Dodge D150 360 auto
