Got a bit of a bug problem here, but before I nuke them all from orbit - I need to know what they are - please help!

They're about 1cm long, and there's about 100 of them on my house :(

It's known as the "Ball fly" - it lays eggs in the testicles of mammals.

About 10 days from now you will awaken to maggots chewing out of your ball-sack.
 
Looks like a Scrotal Weevil, they lay up to 20,000 eggs in an unsuspecting male's testicles, the larvae slowly eat away the testicles, there is no known cure and the only symptom is itchy testicles.
