    Flies come from maggots and flies will lay eggs on just about anything that is rotting (garbage, etc.) We have a lot of flies in our garage because that's where our garbage is and therefore maggots, in the hot weather. Think about it and check around.

    And flies pass the winter as adult flies sleeping in crevices. They could have climbed into your AC unit and are being blown out when it's turned on. Probably they like the kitchen because it's a little warmer than other rooms or they're attracted to food odors. They also like the color yellow. Yellow wallpaper? Yellow curtains?
