    Clean up what is drawing them. They are everywhere in hot weather. Too often we do not scrub out the garbage cans and they draw flies. Dog food left outside and not cleaning up the dog area can bring in flies. Lime the yard on a regular basis if you have pets.

    Ouch,

    There is something that is attracting them, it needs to be eliminated if at all possible. Do you have any idea what is that is?

    I hate to suggest those nasty fly strips, they are so ugly and are not the most efficient method of getting rid of them.

    Onething I can suggest to keep them off you is apply Avon's Skin So Soft, original scent, but you need to find the source of the attraction.
