How to get rid of annoying flies

[SmokingUPnorth]

does anyone have any tips to keep flies away or at least try to lower the amount of them. We can barely sit outside or even in the garage with the door open. We put one bag (completely sealed) in the garbage can and they just flock to it as well. Even if it has no food in it. We have tried those hanging bags away from the house to attract them there and away from us and that attracts them for sure but still doesn’t help keep them away from the house. Looking into one of those nets for the garage door, we had in the past but really is a pain with 3 kids going in and out. They Don’t last long.

Try taking a shower every once in a while, and don't forget to use soap. Just kidding

We have a similar issue and Sheila says they show up in mass every time I light up a smoker. I use Thermacell for mosquitos when I'm hunting, but they claim it will also repel flies...

Flies & mosquitos are not a huge problem here. But later in the summer, we get aggressive yellow jackets that believe they are entitled to a share of the bbq.

That’s exactly what it is. I grill or smoke something and it’s like they attract them and they don’t ever leave. Like the smell is stuck around our house.
