Sounds like the voice of experience!

Meanwhile, ther a lot of fly infestations that have nothing whatsoever to do

4,763 rolls of fly paper, Ig.
Jewelcome.

P.S: Stop leaving food around. The single fly which landed in that
left thousands of his buddies to clean up after you. ;)

I do not know what happened, suddenly we have flies all over.

I will indeed buy fly paper. I am thinking of making some "fly
attractant", by, say, wrapping a jar with fly paper and putting a
small light bulb inside, or some such.

You can also make a funnel trap with a 2l plastic bottle.
cut the bottle off just below where the flare at the top ends.
Remove the top. Which should look like a funnel.
(works well as one, btw. ;)
Place some sort of attractant in the bottle.
Place the top back on the bottle, with the narrow part "inside".

here are instructions for a fruit fly trap:

only they cut the bottom off and use a butter container.
Perhaps easier to empty.
