How do I keep flies away from outdoor picnic food?

You would be surprised how many flys you can kill in 15 minutes with fly swatters. And after you've killed them all it takes quite a while for more flys to find you. Swat them too.
I use patio fans. One at each end of the patio facing in towards the seating and dining section. Set on lo, any pests do not care for the breeze and stay away. I also use plants too.
Patio fan or Home Depot has this great fly catcher. Be warn - its stinky so move it away from your eating area. Collects flies like crazy!

Ziploc bags or glass jars filled with water hanging nearby. The flies will see an enlarged reflection of themselves and fly away.
