Source of flies

insect

Ive started to find big black house flies in my house that I haven't seen before. Initially I suspected that they came in when the door was open but we have been keeping the door shut all the time now and new ones keep coming in. We also saw a few outside insects in the house that we would normally never see.

I have tried to find whether there is any open window but there is none. Any idea what can i do to find the source of these flies?

Get a FLIR attachment for your iphone, crank the heat in the house, look for cold sources on your exterior walls. Assuming the exterior is typically colder than the interior of the house.

You probably have makeup air vents, wall caps for fans / fan hoods, chimney. Also insects will go into suspended animation when temperatures are too cold and then wake up when it gets warm enough again so it is possible they were already in the house and the wall / attic / space they were in has now warmed up enough for them to wake.
