I moved into my new place about 3 weeks ago- maybe closer to a month now.

Prior to moving in the property, I painted every wall in all rooms in the house...

The property had been empty for at least 6 months before I moved in. It was vacant during the harshest portion of winter. And with the winter we have had I do not understand how anything could have survived the freezing temps.

Anyway, after painting and cleaning the property I moved my things in...
The very next day I began noticing flies.

I thought maybe they or had come from my boxes, because I had my things in storage for a little over 3 months...

So I unpacked everything and rid theb boxes.

Flies still existing and they are getting worse.

So I bombed. First bombed under the house with the assumption possibly that was where they were coming from.

I swear they multiplied times ten.. .

So I set off bomb inside the house.

When I got back home after the in house bomb, there were approx. 40 flies dead on my floor.

But later that evening I heard buzzing and they are coming back...

I put concentrated bleach into a spray bottle and sprayed bleach in and on every aspect of this home. STILL THE FLIES ARE MULTIPLYING!

I CAN NOT GET RID OF THESE FLIES AND THEY ARE DRIVING ME COMPLETELY CRAZY.

THE FLIES ARE NOT JUST LITTLE FLIES THEY ARE THE BIGGEST FLIES I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.

HOW DO I GET RID OF THEM?

WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM?

WHY ARE THEY HERE?
(I am a germ and clean freak, I have no waste or fungi of any sort-in which I can see or notice anyway)


PLEASE HELP!!

My first guess would be that you have what are often called "Cluster Flies." These are very large, slow moving flies that tend to lay eggs in attic vents or attics where they're protected from the precipitation of winter weather.

When you turned the heat on, they hatched. Try setting another bomb in your attic. If it's so small that the fog won't reach to all of the corners, use mothballs. The mothballs are best for long term control anyway.
