I have some brown long skinny flying bugs in my house. They look like fireflies with a bit of orange on their back or wings. I am just starting to see them around this week. I would like to know what they are and how to get rid of them.

It's hard to say without seeing a photo. Try this website. It has pictures you can try to match up:

This is a link to the Orkin Insect ID Guide: [Download Missing]
There are slews of bugs so without more information it will be difficult to pin point even one bug as a "maybe".
Where do you live? USA or? US state or Canada?
Sorry to mention all of this but bugs do not always live in the same areas of the world and they differ in what they are "after".
If you can catch one (dead or alive but not smashed) you can probably take it your local agriculture office or even a local exterminator for assistance with what they are and maybe how to get rid of them. Even a good photo would probably work.
Here are a couple of sites with common bugs that you may be able to see your bug:
wow, that almost sounds like flying termites. Are the bugs' wingspan longer than the body?
I know because we had a huge collection of wood at one point in the yard and I'd see the suckers everywhere.
could also be flying ants, though thehome.one/
can yo tell us where you live... offer a picture? probably the best way in stead of us guessing to to tape a dead bug on a piece of paper and go to your cooperative extension office .....
