What do I do about flies all around my azaleas and other bushes?
+2
we have so many flies around our azaleas and other shrubs. there are no dead animals, no animal feces. they congregate mostly around the shrubbery, but unfortunately that is by our entryway. we do a good job being careful not to allow them in the house, but it is driving us crazy. what can you recommend?

Thanks - on the shrubs or the ground- wondering if flies have a nest or where they sleep what so I can kill the colony. If they even have a colony Don't know enough about flies. Thanks so much for responding -

you know if you hang a clear plastic sandwich with a couple of pennies in it along with a small amount of water, the light flashing and reflecting effects the flies compound eyes making the area less attractive to flies. People use them in doorways to keep flies from entering. Vinegar will damage your plants. -
