Anyone else having a MAJOR issue with Flies over the last month?

It seems like over the last 4-8 weeks, we've have had an exponential increase in flies, at least in my area of the Heights. I am going through a fly catcher bag every 3-4 days, there's at least 100 dead ones in each bag, and today when I went outside there were at least half a dozen sitting on a soccer ball in the yard.

The only change I can think of is the amount of rain since Derecho, but I don't remember so many flies showing up after previous storms. No trash/garbage left out or livestock in the area, nothing dead/decomposing…It's to the point where I can't sit outside with a drink without 4-5 flies constantly trying to land in it.

Are y'all experiencing the same thing? What else can I be doing to combat this? I'm always hesitant to just fog with Talstar because that'll kill all the bees and butterflies too.
