FLYS! how do i get rid of them they are in the house!?
Answers:
A simple fly trap is a glass or plastic jar with a lid. Put bait of some kind - anything sweet, or a small piece of raw meat - in the bottom of the jar. Punch a hole or two in the lid that is big enough for flies to enter the jar. They won't be able to find their way out of the jar once they are inside. When the container is filled or the bait is finished, just throw the whole thing away, or if you're up to it, empty it and start again. Stores sell fancy versions of this, with special bait containing pheronomes to attract flies, but the simple version works well.
Fly strips will catch some flies, although they're not exactly decorator accents. Unfortunately, to be effective, they need to be in a conspicuous place. Nevertheless, if you have a good place for them, or want to try them anyway, you can make your own. Use a quarter cup of syrup and a couple of tablespoons of sugar (brown sugar seems to attract better) and mix together well. Cut strips from brown paper bags or other sturdy paper, put a hole and a string to hang them with, then "paint" the strips with the mixture. Put them on wax paper or other non absorbent surface and allow the mixture to soak in for several hours before hanging.
Flies don't like basil, so plant it around doors and windows, put a pot of it on your kitchen windowsill, or cultivate it as a houseplant in any (or all) rooms in your house. Clip and dry basil leaves, then crumble and put in the toe of old pantyhose to use where plants won't grow.
Mothballs are said to repel flies. Hang them in old panty hose near the doors and windows. That doesn't sound very pretty, does it? I would use a mesh or net bag and try to disguise it somewhat.
Sweet clover is another smell that flies supposedly do not like. The smell is quite a bit more pleasant than mothballs, but not so great if you have allergies. You can use sweet clover dried or fresh, in mesh bags or again, old (ugly) pantyhose.
Fold a newspaper lengthwise until it's about four inches wide, then cut "fringe" on one long edge. Tape or staple the other edge to the top of your doorway. This will discourage houseflies from coming in the door.
Another method of discouraging flies from entering the house is to fill clear ziplock bags about two thirds of the way with water, then hang outside the doors. The reflection supposedly disorients flies so they cannot find the open doorway. A mirror would probably work as well, but don't hang it where the sun will hit it directly.
Fly swatters are inexpensive and effective, if you're talented enough to kill the housefly without making a mess. However, most of the flyswatters sold today will last one season of good, vigorous use before becoming tattered and limp. Save the wire handle and make your own swatter from a scrap of old screen. Cut it to size and bind it by covering both sides of the edges with a strip of cloth and weaving with a needle and thread back and forth through the screen near the edge and through the cloth. Use light wire to fasten your swatter firmly to the handle. If the handle wears out, use a wire hangar to replace it. Just shape and twist, using the old handle as a pattern/example.

Flies get into the house thru: a) faulty screens on the windows or no screens at all; b) People leaving the door(s) open when going in and out of the house. I know of NO OTHER way
something went bad ...so you have flys. first clean out the trash can and make sure everything is out of the disposal..put up fly paper in your windows. make sure there is no food sitting out .and get some raid for flying insects and spray it. it might take a few days but you will get rid of the flys.
