If no color to them they are probably cluster flies. I would use UV light traps
at night but you would have to cut all other lights off for it to work. If
cluster flies they should cycle through fairly quickly/desiccate and die on
their own.

Are these larger than normal house flies but look like house flies? Any color
sheen to them or not so much?

Good Morning Folks,
I am currently working in collections at a museum which is housed in a wooden
building and we have a pretty major fly problem. The collection is industrial
so we are not concerned about the objects as much as the presence of the flies.
We have tried fly strips and traps which are not very visually appealing for
visitors. So, we are looking for ways to mitigate this problem without
fumigating the building (as this would be quite costly and the budget is
limited).
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!
