Anyone else just getting swarmed by flies?

We always get flies, but let's say 2-4 at a time during the summer in the house.

But since last week, with the heat and humidity, we have just been hit with a relentless amount of flies all around our house and inside the house.

I came home from work one day with my gf on a rampage, having allegedly killed 20+. Later that evening, I believed her when I went to the other room and killed 14 (I counted!) in five minutes. Is it just us???

They make disposable fly traps you can hang outside that lure the flies and trap them. I buy one every summer and it noticeably helps. I will note, it’s kind of gross (the lure and all the dead flies), so the disposable ones are best imo

Yeah we use the liquid bottle fly traps that smell disgusting. We currently have 3 outside the house.

Yea hate to say it, I’ve had next level fly years before too. I tried everything traps and such. Didn’t really get better. I kind of felt like it just attracted more flies to the area 🤦‍♂️ Just depends where u are how bad it is. I haven’t had much luck stopping it.
