MrsB spotted an article saying that a clear bag, half filled with water and maybe with a few coins in it, suspended close to where you're sitting will deter pesky flies.
It sounded b/s-ish but conceivably plausible so I got one together. At 2 pm this time of year we get the sun shining directly into our covered balcony, the flies follow the sun and there are plenty of flies there until the sun goes round, so it was an obvious place to test it.
Hanging it from the awning seemed have no effect, so I hung it directly on the back of her chair where the full sun was attracting loads of flies. I swear I heard them laughing. Some were on the phone to their friends to come and see the ridiculous idea 'the humans' had come up with.
ymmv :)
