Lord of the flies, or the house that Fly took over

It's so unreal I almost liken it to a Rocky and Bullwinkle episode.  For the past two days Dan and I have come home to a house full of flies.   They are all over my sliding glass door in my kitchen and all over my new bay window in my living room.  I kid you not. It's disturbing since we can't find out where they are coming from.

We have so far:
  1. taken out all the garbage cans. We had a BBQ on July 3rd, and thought maybe some meat products were left in the cans.
  2. emptied the sink and washed all the dishes
  3. did a spot search throughout the two rooms looking for obvious things.
  4. actually checked out a few other rooms. 
No luck.  since I am so exhausted by the time we get home, we are waiting until tomorrow to do a major hunt and find. I have a sneaky suspicion that one of the cats has brought in a surprise that left it hidden somewhere.  AUGHHHH.  Ben and Tiff apperently has some organic insect killer spray that they left. I found it, and sprayed the heck out of the flies. I have to admit that I don't rightly know if it's the spray that killed them, or the fact that I drowned them in it, but it's been working. Much better than Dan squishing fly guts all over my BRAND NEW WINDOWS! lol.

But I am worried. I am afraid of what I will see when I get home tonight. hopefully not a window full of flies again.  Dan last night mentioned when he got home that he felt like he was the lord of the flies. I felt like they were trying to take over my house. Either way..... this weekend they will be gone!
