Could be snow fleas.

They have a grey to lavender color.

They are harmless, and help turn the dead woods into soil.

Years ago, similar bugs appeared in my living room for a day or two every autumn.  They flew right through the window screens and congregated around a table lamp.  Hundreds of them.  That's where I learned the best way to take care of them (and all bugs) is with a vacuum cleaner.

I don't miss bug season after 18 years living in Minnesota...the Pac NW has very few bugs. As a matter of fact so few bugs that relatives always question when we're sitting outside in the backyard next to the foothill forests and mountain..."What is different out here??"

"Bugs" I respond...then they're all like "Yeeeeah?!?! where are the bugs?"

Turns out they're snow fleas and harmless. I hosed 'em all into a puddle and they were back in the same spot within 15 minutes. 2 hrs later they were all gone.  :banana:

As a property insurance adjuster, I'd say just make sure your insurance on the home is up to date if you take this route.  :D

We have a term for that sort of home solution.
Unfortunately it would not be well received here. Least not by anyone important LOL
