What Type Of Fly Is This?Hi all, I get around 2-3 of these flies every night in the house. I only see them in the evenings and they disappear in the day. I'm trying to establish what type of fly this is so that I can find a way to get rid of them. I've tried a UV light fly trap but the buggers haven't gone near them. Can anybody help please? They are driving me nuts! Many thanks in advance.

Getting Rid of Flies Inside?Over the weekend (starting on Saturday afternoon) we opened our patio door. The screen door is always shut even when we close the glass door. Out of nowhere, there were approximately 15-20 flies on the screen on the inside. We sprayed the screen and the flies died. However, later that night, still in the kitchen there were about 10-12 more flies flying around the kitchen, but all seemed to be hanging around the sliding glass door. My question is: Where are the flies coming from and why all of a sudden? The more we spray the more they seem to come out.
