Where are the freaking house flies coming from?
Garbage is taken out and litter boxes are cleaned daily. No science experiments in the fridge. Are they just slipping in when I open the door? Is there a non toxic way of getting rid of them, other than a fly swatter?

1. That happened to me once
The answer was a trapped rat that had somehow gotten through an old cracked pipe in the basement, became stuck in a crawl space and died. Is there a funky smell accompanying the flies by any chance?

^^^not to be confused with the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive, who's on temporary involuntary vacation
2. flies are one thing I will recomment sticky traps for
old style - kind of nasty to handle and deal with, but cheap
after which a picture of rolls of flypaper
I prefer these
after which a picture of something else

3. Non Toxic Spray
One tablespoon of Dawn dish washing liquid to one cup of water in a small spray bottle. One squirt will take down any flying insect and no odor.
We're getting them here in PA, too.

What's wrong with a flyswatter? Afraid things will get messy?

Yeah DUmbass, try bathing more than once a month and you'll have no problem with flies.

Taking the garbage out...WHERE? Taking it out of the can and leaving it in the floor? :lmao:

How can a DUmmie determine if a smell is "funky" or not? How is a DUmmie going to get close enough to a fly to check it for "accompanying" smells? :lol:

That would require physical effort on the part of the DUmmie. Ain't gonna happen. The DUmmie would demand a government program for every flyswatter to come with its own certified union flyswatter operator.
Black flies matter.
Most of mine are green or brown, but I don't discriminate, I kill them all.

And let the Lord of the Flies sort them out?
