You have a small amount of rotting fruit (or juice) in the trashes, including the bathroom trash, apparently. Take out all the trashes, hose out the inside of the trash bins, spray the inside with Lysol or something similar, and line the inside of your trash bins with plastic bags from now on.

You probably brought something in that had eggs, when you throw it away if you don't take the trash outside right away they go quickly to larva and adults and presto, a house full of flies. Empty all trash containers, disinfect and wash out containers. If you carry out the container with the flies in very carefully, they may stay inside and you won't have any leftover flies to lay eggs. If you have any fruit in the house wash thoroughly to remove eggs that may have been laid(even fresh fruit)
