Recommendations of a product that kills flies outside and prevents them from coming inside?
We live by the woods and have flies coming into the house constantly when they kids open and close the doors.

Place bird houses around your place to attract tree swallows. A pair of tree swallows are estimated to consume up to 8,000 flies a day.
Many cattle farmers utilize tree swallows to help control flies.

Buy a couple of these and put them up near the perimeter of your property. After a couple of days the flies won't be near your house.

While I thought this was complete bull shite, a quick Google search proved me wrong. Holy shite

Ever been bothered by mosquitoes, or other flying insects, while enjoying quiet time on your deck or patio??

If so, let me introduce you to a tree swallow family.

These colorful, high flying, acrobatic creatures may be an answer to enjoying that quiet time on your deck or patio — with added entertainment. During an average day adult tree swallows soar, swoop and dive to consume about 2,000 flying insects. Multiply that by two, a male and female pair, and four to seven nestlings you can quickly see how this might improve your outdoor enjoyment.

The Tree Swallow may be my favorite bird. They're cool birds and a lot of fun to watch.
