FLIES in the HOUSE!?

There are a TON of flies in my house, and we have no idea where they are coming from. Just this afternoon, I must have killed five and let another dozen out the screen door. We think that there might be a nest in our house somewhere, but we can't find any. HELP!

1] Where are the coming from?
2] Get them to go away?

Answers:
If you have a chimney, open fireplace, flue, stove pipe, or open vent they are probably coming in that way. My parents have this problem as did I when I lived in my former house. You may be able to close the flue and that will prevent some of them. There is no such thing as a fly nest but when the weather gets cooler they love to get in where it is warm and will crawl in any small space they can find. Hope you can figure it out, best wishes!

Other answers:
call an exterminator company they may be able to help you locate the problem.

do you have any trash just sitting in one area?

are you windows open?

do you have cracks in your windows that flies might be able to crawl in.

were you cooking food that produced a strong smell?

maybe their is a dead animal near like a rabbit.

do you have a fireplace.

Flies do not have 'nests'.

You more than likely have some sort of dead animal in your attic/basement/walls. Most likely a rat/mouse/squirrel.

There is not a helluva lot you can do. Spray/swat the flies and check the outside of your house for any open access areas where critters might be able to get in....if you find any...SEAL THEM!!
