Last year our ground floor apartment had a fly infestation that the rest of the tenants in the building supposedly didn't experience. We have since moved (about 5 blocks) and have had no problems until now. Its been about a year between instances. Can flies move from one place to another? In plants maybe?
House flies AGAIN!

What kind of fly? Fruit flies - put all your fruit/veggies that are on the counter into the fridge (peel bananas and freeze is another option). There's good fruit fly trap designs on youtube.
Flour moths? Throw away all baked goods/cereal. Start again.
Shower flies? Spray antifungus stuff/bleack directly on all bathroom grouted seams and/or dig out the grout and re-grout or re-caulk. Also in bathroom wall/floor corners where moisture can exist.
Those giant black flies? Those are common in older houses. Just kill em - get fly strips - don't let em breed - but they'll come in through window edges from inside the walls of the house.
