I just replaced the screen on my office window. This time of year I
can not be online without the window open (I refuse to pay the
electric for an AC). Anyhow, the old screen had a small hole and tiny
flying bugs were getting in. I bought that plastic screen which
seemed to have the smallest holes. These damn bugs are still getting
in. They fly in my face and are totally irritating. I even put duct
tape around the edge of the screen frame where it meets the window
frame, which seemed to fit tight anyhow, but I am desprate. How in
the hell does one keep them out of the house? This is really starting
to piss me off. (They are very small flys or gnats, or something).

Could be fungus gnats coming from a plant you are watering too much or
have to keep water heavy...different types of gnats can also take up
residence inside the over flow area of sinks...need to figure the source
then address them there if these are the cases.

If there's a water-source, deep plant cover, or a food-supply
near the window, get rid of it. If your window is the brightest
light in the immediate area, put another light somewhere nearby,
to lure the bugs away from that window. If all else fails,
try a furnace filter.

If you have any carrots in the house, get rid of them.
Bugs LOVES carrots.
