coming in droves
not sure what insect you have nor where you live so not sure how to help :-)
Send a photo.
Many insects are attracted to lights...so if you have your porch light on at night as well as indoor lights on many insects will come in when you open the door. Turn off the inside light well before you want to open the door to keep the insects out.

I have them coming into my kitchen by the tens and sometimes find them in the bathroom. I can tell that they are coming in around the kitchen door but why, what the heck do they thin I have in here that they want?

THANK YOU ALL! We've recently had a huge influx of these bugs, and have 2 young children and a dog, so were of course concerned because they look like large tics..

Weevils can not hurt you.

Since sending us a photo might not be enough for us to tell you species. Please take several into your local county extension service and they can find out what it is and if there is something you need to do.

Bugs are awesome!
It probably came in accidentally. It will not bother you. And it probably will not bother your houseplants. Each weevil has a food preference, so it would probably not be for house plants...tho do you not say where you live or what plants you repotted.

I just found that same bug in my house, in the same area as you. I knew what it was from the funny shape of its nose, and me- but beyond that I wasn't sure what it's behavior was. As it turns out there are several different typse of weevils. Mine dissapeared before I could put it outside so I decided to learn something about it so maybe I can at least sleep. They burrow into plants and usually lay larve there... having just planted some indore things, I'm rather worried about my plants now, but I'm sure I brought it in accidentally with some of the soil I uprooted for them. Perhaps yours got in, in a similar fashion... how about that... I just spotted it near the ceiling... these things look awsome don't they. Too bad I have an irrational fear of bugs. ^.^

It is NOT a bed bug...it is a weevil. The photo is not clear enough to tell more.

Your critter is a weevil, a type of beetle. It is not a tick, so you can relax!
From the photo I can not tell what kind of weevil it is, but I would guess one that accidentally came inside. Most weevils feed on plants and plant seeds.
Just put it outside and you should not see anymore unless some would try to come in for the winter again....doubtful.
