Flies!!!

[Sun_Sparkz]

Its getting hotter here and the 40degree celcius plus heat is bringing the flies in droves to my house. Our house is the only standing in structure in a radius of about 5km so they all come to lay in the shade of my verandah and eat the leftover cat and guini pig food!

I am getting really fed up with the constant drone of "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" outside the back door. It also doesnt help that my Goat has free reign of the houseyard and poops whereever she likes... and believe me.. she pops alot!!

So my question is this: does anyone know any good ideas for fly traps?

Ive seen some people put a mixture of stinky stuff in plastic bottles and hang them on trees to attract the flies (and i believe fruit flies too) so they fly in and can't get out, or they drown in the alluring mixture.

I need a cheap, pet friendly and preferably not too stinky solution.. i know i cant kill them all, but at least attract them AWAY from the house.

Anybody???
