How to get rid of house flies

Answer 1

you can buy some "sticky hanging fly catchers" at a drug store. You unroll them and they're really sticky, and something about them attracts flies. they hang from the ceiling.

Answer 2

The "greenest" way is to tack up fly paper strips which attract and hold flies that land on the resiny, gooey paper strip.  However, they're a bit messy and need to be hung in areas where curious kids won't play with them.  They DO work well, though.

But to keep them out of your house... put screens on your doors and windows and patch any holes or cracks that the flies can sneak into. Make sure everyone shuts the doors. Keep food or other attractants off the counters.
