Identifying Tiny Bugs Outside

Identifying Tiny Bugs Outside?Can anyone identify these bugs? They were outside on my wooden patio cover. They completely covered it and I spent several hours spraying them with an environmentally safe bug killer. It barely works so I sprayed them with the hose. There were millions of these. I live in northern California. The temp was about 75 to 80 degrees today. They must have just hatched. I didn't see them yesterday.
