Flies are pests of opportunity. You are providing them with food, water, and a place to grow. Killing them won't work. You need to remove any food waste and dead animals inside your house. Keep your garbage cans clean and as far from your house as possible. Remove any standing water. Fix your screens and seal up any gaps to deny them access.

thanks for the tips. how do you get them out of the kitchen once they are there.

Put something out there they like more. Like a pile of cow Shit lightly dusted with sugar.

TLDR, welcome to life on a farm.
Wait till you get a warm winter and cool wet spring. Or drive through Hereford Texas.

Fly traps work but they smell like shit, but you are on a farm so you're used to it. Red wine vinegar with a drop of soap attracts them and drowns them, also kills gnats. Buy several tubes of caulking and caulk the shit out of your windows. Caulk them shut, fuck it. Get an electric fly swatter, get the ones with leader boards. My record is 34 in one day.

Fans...they don't like disturbance in the air. Hang bags of water up I guess they won't fly under them. Fly traps. And finally either take away what they're there for or introduce a natural predator.
