Sorry, but there's no way anyone will be able to tell if they're redbugs from that description. Get a magnifying glass. Look close. If they are bugs that have red heads and orange to cream bodies, they are red bugs.
A double strength dip in Lugols or Reefdip for 10 minutes would be the way to go. You could try just removing them with tweezers, but you risk missing some.

Not my picture, but one of the best I have ever seen of "Red Bugs" Do yours look like these?
