I found out that you are right about them 'getting around the edges'.
Everytime I thought I was down to the last two, and swatted them, I would see a few more.

The closed blind is tight up to the window frame, (I have a window where the opening is at sill level) but I had a 1/2" gap at that sill level.

I packed it with rolled up tea towels and the number of flies is back down to one again.
