They enter without permission. You'd think they'd at least knock. But, no. They buzz on in like they own the place and then proceed to rub their grubbies all over the food. We tried rolling up a towel and smacking them, but they evaded our attack. We pulled out the vacuum and chased them down with the hose, but they eluded our every move. Eventually we had to break down and buy a fly swatter. What an amazing invention! Whoever came up with this device was a genius! We are now slaughtering our foes left and right with a simple flick of the wrist. Death to all (flies) who enter here!

I absolutely hate a fly. Almost as much as fire ants, but not quite. When my daughter was little, she could catch flies in mid-air with her hand. Possibly because she has some American Indian from her dad's side. Being the germaphobe I am, it really grossed me out.

Two of my girls (6 and 4 years old) both love to catch flies. With their bare hands. Ug. Needless to say, they wash their hands a LOT!!

@Genipher I never liked it when my daughter did that either. Although it was nice having the fly gone.

@1creekgirl The best solution is when the dog catches them for us!

Yes a swatter is the best. It is said mint leaves drive away flies but I saw them sitting on them too.

We used to have the same problem with feral cats. We were told hazelnut shells would get rid of them, but I often found the cat sleeping on the hazelnut shells. Sadly, sometimes those natural fixes just don't work.

I try not to spray around where I know the kids or the dog will be. Thus, the flyswatter!

Haven't seen any flies hanging around but there are plenty of bugs. Hopefully the fly problem will fade.
