These are red-shouldered bugs, likely Jadera haematoloma (Hemiptera/Heteroptera: Rhopalidae). Close relatives to boxelder bugs, they likewise usually are considered nuisance pests, and chemical control measures seldom are recommended. See http://tinyurl.com/db5qou for more detailed information from the University of Florida.
