Flies - help?
Answers:
during this time of year when it's hot, to prevent them, don't put food scraps in the garbage in the house. bag them up and take them to the dumpster daily or store them in the freezer and take them out on garbage day or the night before.
I just smack them with a flyswatter. Keep doors and windows closed that don't have screens. Repair screens that have holes. If you have kids, impose the no in and out rule and the don't leave the door open rule.

Citronella candles help keep out flies. Try tesco.
Well, you could secure your home/place and make sure that their is no expousre (like an open window or door).
Also, perhaps you could get soem fly traps (their cheap).
Fly strip traps ... Wal Mart ... under $1
Fill plastic baggies with water and hang infront of of your doors. They do not like the reflection. I know this from years of experience of working in horse stables. We hang them in the stalls to keep them off of our horses.
I don't get many flies in my house, because I don't leave the doors open, just windows with secured netting...........
hi, Portuguese people use to hang a transparent plastic bag filled with water... don't know why it works... maybe they get confused with their distorted reflex... you could try!
You can get plug-in ultra-violet traps that electrocute the little pests!! Cost about a tenner! Have a look in B&Q
Flies are unwanted pests. You can help keep them out of your house by keeping potted basil and mint around as well as citrus peel pomanders.
hang a ziploc bag of water(about half full) on the door or put it on a table(like at a picnic or patio)...the ones that are already in will die eventually and you need to prevent more coming in...the bag of water sounds silly but it works!
buy some door beads to hang on the door when it is open. the flies cant get through. they are really cheap too.
How about the pot plant that is a fly catcher ,you could have one of these plants in each room that gets flys.
