My current apartment has some weird issue with tiny flies. When we viewed it there were millions of dead tiny flies on the floors. Figured it was just because the windows had been left open, but no, they're still around. We've cleaned top to bottom and they're still hanging around. Hella annoying.

Anyway, when a hair moves ever so slightly here, it's always a bloody fly. Gods I wish we had a spider infestation instead.

To add to the other commenter about cleaning walls, clean your drains, like especially sink drains. There are flies that live specifically in drains. You also gotta nuke them for a while until it helps with drainflies.

You don't even need to nuke the drains. Just cover them up. I had drain flies coming out of my shower drain for weeks and couldn't figure out how to stop them initially. Read online to block the drain for a couple days when it's not in use. I just covered the drain with a sink plunger and they were gone.

Thanks, I’ve done this. Cleared all the drains several times, and the kitchen fan/sucky thing. That one was really gross so we thought might have been the source but alas.
