With a sweeper. They crawl in the cracks where the weather stripping is on the inside casing of the window. When the sun warms the window they wake up and come out. Some die in the cold.
I have also learned that when installing new windows, from the inside of the house, spray foam outside of the new window Jambs, making contact with the exterior plywood sheathing and support studs. Also flash around the exterior of the window with a layer of ice and water shield. This helped cut down on flies migrating in completely.
This might help... perhaps do it every week or so until the dent reappears? Otherwise, there are little tabs you can buy to stick on the bottom of the chair legs... I think I've seen them at Target/Walmart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zdfk0BW-kjo
I hate this job each fall when my windows get full! But I vacuum up all I can. Then I remove the screen and wipe outside any leftover fly parts. Then I use a spray cleaner and wipe it all until its clean. Its one of the grossest cleaning projects I do at my house!
A method I use is pretty effective for getting those dirty bugs out. Use packing tape! I keep a small roll ( from the dollar store) in my tool box for picking up small items (or gross ones). Just make a loop of the tape with the sticky side out. With your fingers on the inside of the loop, press it into those small spaces. The tape grabs dirt, bugs, and all kinds of debris. Drop it in the garbage and you're done with the flies!

A toothbrush or cotton tip swab slightly dampened should put them up.
Hello. I find it easiest to use a wet wipe, or diaper wipe to erase them away. Anything moist and disposable could be used. Hope this helps
I use a vacuum sweeper.

I vacuum them up at client's homes. Then they make a clear fly strip you adhere to the glass to catch them that you just rip off, leaves no residue.
Try your crevice tool on your vacuum
Hi Sharon,
Sweep them up or Vac them up or wipe them up, or even brush them off! The choice is yours...........
I would use a hand held swiffer and then a tooth brush! Then spray with windex and use a paper towel to clean it up.

The crevice device on your vacuum cleaner, just suction out the carcasses and see what you need to clean after that.
a sweeper and then wipe with cloth ?

I would use a handheld vaccum and vaccum them out.
