Q. We’ve been having a real problem with house flies inside our house! I know that they are found around garbage and dog poop outside, but where are they coming from inside? I keep a tight lid on my kitchen garbage can and we actually see them mostly in the dining room near the windows. Can you tell me where they’re breeding?
