Yeah, I'd noticed more lately, but then my husband mentioned finding maggots in the outside trash can 🤢
So Im guessing that lead to the recent uptick for us

Those flies are attracted to poop.

Happened to my yard too, also no specific "cause." The high point was about 2-3 weeks ago though when it was more rainy.

Someone may have a compost they aren't turning frequently enough.

Horse flies are huge and sting. If it’s “house flies” there is likely something rotten nearby.

OP here. They're the regular big black flies. Horse flies I guess.

Take a picture of one and ID it online. Talking horse-flies?

Maybe an animal is using some part of your yard as a litter?

Giant flies have taken over my yard. I don't notice any dead animals. Is it all the rain? Anyone else seeing s surge in bigass flies?
