Flies - Arghhhhh
I have bifold doors which I love to open in the summer. The bug bear is flies. Loads of them come into the house. Is there any tried and tested way of stopping them?
I don't want to not be able to open the doors. Do those blue light things work?

Im afraid I don't like them either, I looked into various ones..plastic streamers, croched ones, chain link, but decided I really couldn't be done with them.
We also looked at those magnetic fly screens so the dog can walk/shove through them but decided against them too.
in the end we've done nothing on the back door apart from being vigilant 😕
You need a curtain. Available on Amazon and at other places.
Blue light electronic electrocution kit does work, but since flies can explode, keep well away from food areas. Slso you need to clean out the tray, and replace the light bar/bulb every now & again. Sticky pad fly catchers are good.
Alternatively put a large pile of guano at the bottom of the garden and they'll go there instead.
Amazon have them
