<p>Alive. and because we have a 2 story great room that goes upstairs to the bedrooms, I am now fighting them upstairs.</p>
<p>Last weekend Bullet re-painted the back door and I swear there were 2 dozen swarming the area, so maybe they are coming in from there. (This is the door we use for the dogs). However, in 20+ yrs of marriage and every home we always had one door for the dogs.</p>
<p>We have lived here for 2 yrs, and I have dealt with the flies for a few weeks over the summer (like mosquitos), but now even with the temps cooling, they seem to be as bad as the dog days of summer.</p>
<p>I am really at this point of not kicking on the heat (it is 45-50 degrees in the am) just to freeze them out.</p>
<p>I have googled this issue, but every site I go to has no real advice. The only reason I said Johnsons wax, is because I remember when we moved the 1st time to NC from England during the summer, I polished all of my pine furniture. I woke up to dead flies everywhere…not a surprise since the doors had to remain open for 10 hours as they moved the furniture off the truck.</p>
