Solution:

Get a piece of dry ice and put it into the microwave and shut the door. The CO2 will knock the flies out. Brush them out and then you can dispose of them outside. They won't be killed.

Or...

Put lots and lots of ice into the microwave and wait until the flies are slowed down, then brush them out and let them outside.

The CO2 works very well. I had to do this many times in my genetics lab.
