Fly Trap.
Get a 2 litre or bigger plastic bottle.
On 1 side, cut 2 holes as big as your little finger approx 10mm from each side of bottle leaving a top flap. Keep the bottle lid shut.
If you cut only on 1 side you can more easily pour out the "Liquid Dead Flies" Read on!
Place some old meat or fatty scraps into bottle with some water.
The flies will smell the "Crap" and fly in, won’t be able to get out and will die.
Hang a few in trees around
camp might help stop the Aussie salute :))

I bought a couple of Envirosafe fly traps plus bait from Bunnings. About $10 for the trap and $9 for each pack of 3 x bait.
You mix one bait in half a cap of water in the trap, put the lid on, leave it in the sun, wait 24 hours for the bait to start working, and then stand back !
I have one trap with a 4-inch layer of dead flies in it, and the other about 2-inches. At this rate I will have to empty one trap very soon.
You can't smell them at all except if you swirl the trap around which I do every day or so to ensure the dead flies don't form a solid crust on the surface.
I live in inner-city
Melbourne and had no idea just how many flies there are around my house.
Cheers.
Peter.
