If you are inundated with these annoying flies - slow moving black house fly sized flies that hang around in clusters :roll: near windows and door frames then pay attention.
You can't get rid of them permanently because they emit a pheromone that means next years hatchings will find your house but you can get rid of a lot of this year's bunch. Thursday is supposed to be very frosty and clear. If you open all your windows and bang all the sash covers/ velux panels etc, the flies will emerge and fly outside. The frost will kill them. Its better to do it as late in the daylight as possible so that they still want to fly outside but have less chance to get back in.
Hope that helps.
Cheers
