small oval-shaped bugs

Is anyone else having a problem with little oval shaped bugs (hard shell, can fly)? They are everywhere in our kitchen and getting into food. Vigilant cleaning is not seeming to help the situation - they've been around for about 2 months - though seems to be getting worse - now they are flying and landing on us too. Wondering if it's a seasonal thing, or if anyone knows what they are.

If what you have are Asian Multicolored Ladybeetles, there's some info here (http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/br/lbeetle/).

If what you have are Confused or Red Flour Beetles, there's some info here (http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2087.html).
