I’m not so sure! Unless they’re laying eggs inside, there’s simply too many of them for that. My dog hates going out in this weather so it’s not like I’m even using the door that much
Comment on How do I figure out where flies are entering my house?

They come in through the door when you do. That’s the only thing I can figure out, I have the same problem. I’ve caught them doing it a couple of times, but of course I don’t see them every time.
I think you’re doing everything you can to keep them out. Unless, you want to build some sort of airlock contraption. Make it with smooth, white walls, a bright light, and a fly swatter. But, the thing is, even then, a few would sneak through, and that would absolutely drive you mad after going through all that effort.

Some places use a directed air blast at the door whenever it opens up. Enough to push any bugs away from opening the door.

In a residential home?

Air curtains.

Bugs are pretty weak compared to humans so it makes sense that all it takes to keep a bug from opening the door is an air blast.
