The good ole fashioned fly swatter
There’s always the age old remedy of the fly swatter. Most of us grew up with them and that’s the go-to solution for just about everybody. If nothing else works, grab that fly swatter.
I don’t particularly enjoy hunting them down or killing them, nor do I really like the fly guts that they leave behind.
Some things I’ve tried
Our go to solution, but not the best way, is to put a drop or two of dishwashing soap in a water bottle of then spray that on them wherever you see them. While there are no fly guts, sometimes they still get away if your aim isn’t the best. Adjust your spray and get a little closer before you pull the trigger for a better chance to get ’em.

Fly swat, it they weren’t so messy I’d an assalt weapon! The gun that shoots salt!

Window sticker fly traps are the best thing I have found. You can buy them at amazon or Walmart and they are way cheaper than the little plug in lights. They might look gross but just tear them off or put you blinds down when you have company. Hope this helps.

I need one of those strong fans like grocery stores have when the door opens..it blows air to keep them out…we try everything and they find their way in

Pine Sol diluted in a spray bottle works great. Spray around your doors and on porch mats. Flies hate the smell.
