The farmhouse was built in 1919 and added on to in about 1930. It never fails that during the winter if we have a 50 degree day the house is filled with flies. I just killed 13 on the window on the stairs. The story I've been told was that when all of the dirt blew in during the 30's fly eggs came with it and were in the walls. Every year you get a new crop of eggs.
I rarely have any in the summer even though the hogs and cattle aren't more than 100 yards from the house. In the winter, it's like a daily plague if the sun is nice and warm. Sit on the couch at your own risk in the evening. If there's a fly on the wall behind you the cat crawls over you at break neck speed to get it. She must have the afternoons off. She was no help just now.
