HELP!! I have recently had an infestaition of house flys!! What gives?? I keep a clean home. Dont get it??

Answer 1

As you probably know, flies come from maggots.  That usually means rotten food or a dead animal near by that you don't know about.  My guess would be that they have all recently hatched at about the same time giving you an immediate infestation.  I would use a bug bomb to eliminate the existing flies.  Wherever they came from has probably already passed the maggot stage and I doubt that they'll come back again in such great numbers.  Good luck.

Answer 2

- Thoroughly clean all of your garbage cans and drains (remember the basement and garage).

- Check all of the screens on your window and doors.  They might be getting in from somewhere outside.

Answer 3

If you don't have any food debris or dead animals nearby, the flies you see could be cluster flies.

Catch one and compare it to this photo:

Otherwise, you'll just have to deal with them and get a couple of heavy-duty fly swatters. Nothing is worse than breaking your only fly swatter when there are still flies to slay.
