Hi Maasia,
First off, make sure there is no animal waste either around or in your yard, that draws them like crazy. They also are attracted to any rotting material, such as decaying fruit and compost.
I use fly bags. They stink, but they work. I hang them about 20 feet from my patio so we don't have to smell them.
Determine what attracts them and eliminate that source. Hang fly catchers. Use Sevin Dust. Hang a baggie of water over all exterior doors to help keep them away from the inside of the house.
