The flies recently have been absolutely insane. Since that coincides with the end of TheStench™️, I’m going to assume that either they ate TheStench, or they flies I killed laid their eggs in TheStench, and now they’ve run out of food
There’s a gap in the skylight in the laundry that I can’t put back myself because when I tried the entire thing fell out and it was a bitch and a half to put back in. The flies have been escaping from there. I went in and absolutely doused it with fly spray last night, and there are at least a hundred dead flies everywhere now. There’s a few dozen on the floor that escaped the gap, and I counted about 90 in the skylight. Ugh
On the double downside, all the flys have brought a number of spider out of hiding. There’s at least 2 living in my fruit bowl, and I’ve seen a bunch of others around. Thankfully not gigantic ones, but I’m still scared of spiders so it isn’t exactly ideal
Next weekend I reckon I’m doing bug bombs. This house was empty for a fair while before I moved in, so it’ll probably do good. Gonna buy a cobweb thingy too
They did send that dude who tried to find it but couldn’t. But the slight gap in the skylight was deemed a non issue, and pest control in places I can get to is my responsibility 🤷♂️
Technically it’s not that much of an issue because it’s kind of double layered. As in - there’s one at the top/roof level, then a big space, then a second one at indoor ceiling height. The space is surrounded by plaster, etc
The gap is just in the 2nd indoor/ceiling height one. I’m not 100% sure how the flies are getting in, but there must be a hole or something in that space that’s letting them in from wherever they’re spawning from in the roof

Sleeping, probably

If flies are coming in through that skylight, it’s pretty silly of them to deem it a non issue. Sorry you have to put with this.
