Does anyone have any proven non-toxic ways to get rid of flies?? They are horrible right now. There are probably 300-400 just outside every day until the sun goes down, which cant be great for the dogs. The dog "mess" is cleaned up everyday, they are on a feeding schedule so their food isn't left out... theres nothing that I could imagine flies would find of interest in our backyard. I've killed probably 30 flies inside the house and I still see a few. Its so nasty and gonna drive me crazy!

Help!

We are just entering fly season here. It's been awful this week. It's been cool outside, and they all hover by the doors waiting for the chance to come in.
We had a dinner party on Sunday, and there was lots of in and out the doors (BBQ on back patio....eating inside...) We had a MILLION flies in the house after everyone left. I swear we spent hours killing them.
