Are they little tiny ones? (Compared to big ones)...and do you have heating vents underneath or near the windows?

In the past, I found that fly sticky strip things can catch a lot of the buggers.
That has to be maddening!

The most reiable thing (and least hazardous, besides a flyswatter) I've used for flies
is good old flypaper. You can buy the tubes in most stores,
carefully pull them out of the tube and hang them up. The flies will stick and you'll be able to enjoy things better.
I myself hate flies with a passion...

I just went wild with a fly swatter the other day. Couldn't find flypaper, so I pulled out ol' Bessie and smacked me some flies. They dropped like... well, flies.

Gross thing is, one of my dogs likes to eat them. He was following me around, cleaning up my trail... luckily they're organic flies. LOL

I'm not implying anything about your cleanliness, but is there any chance at all that somewhere in your place, there's something spoiled!!!? The only time I ever had a really bad infestation -- mine were cute little beetles -- it turned out that some dried Chinese spices, in sealed packages -- that I had bought and never used and had packed in a seldom used cabinet, were the source. sealed package.
Flies come from maggots, and maggots like dead things. Or if they're not from maggots, even a spoiled piece meat might be enough to attract them.
Good luck!!! Yucky, isn't it!!!?

Frankly, I blame the cat litter for our fly problem. My wife says they come from outside, but any excuse to bad mouth the cat. ;)

Thanks everyone for your help. We have decided that they want inside cuz they sense it is gona get cold soon. Also the 2 windows they are collecting on get the most sun and warmth all day long and it was warm today, sooo we'll see. Worst case, I'll call an exterminater (can't spell LOL) Judy

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
