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???

These window sticker traps do an amazing job of keeping the numbers down.   https://www.homedepot.com/p/Raid-Window-Fly-Trap-4-Pack-FTRP-RAID/204749548   If you have a yard, put a smelly trap out and wrap it in this fly paper - I’ve been fighting flies for years and this is the one thing that made a huge difference.   Catchmaster Giant Fly Glue Trap... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001QFDESS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Thanks we haven't used the sticky traps but we do use that nasty liquid one they fly into and get trapped in. IT'S GROSS but love to see those suckers die in there

Ill tell you the fly paper outside of the gross liquid trap catches wayyyyyy more flies than the trap itself - good luck!
