I've had more flies make it through the back door and into the house this year than I can ever remember. I'll be laying in bed and see a fly go by at least once a week, and its at the far end of the house from any outside doors. I've not had much issue with them outside though. It may help that most of the time outdoors when grilling is in a location with two ceiling fans in a pavilion by the pool, and I run the fans on full blast. We've also been using a couple of Thermacell devices around the pool when outside, to keep mosquitos away. Maybe it helps with flys too?
I had a lot of mosquitos early in the summer, before getting the Thermacell's, and I also spent time spraying the yard and foliage I could reach with this garlic based stuff called Mosquito Barrier (mosquitobarrier.com), and feel that it certainly helped with mosquitos. Maybe it helped with flies too?
Even before we had the pavilion with 2 ceiling fans, I would put an oscillating fan or two out in the sitting area by the pool. I had two of those with a tall stand on them. I think a breeze, even if its from a fan, helps keep insects away.
