Whats a Good Natural Fly Repellent?

Something i can put around the house..with critters and the heat we are being inundated, and I absolutely hate to spray poison.

We hung two of those containers you add attractant (sp?) to off of the back porch. The bottles are filling with flies and there are fewer to sneak in the back door with us. I bought them at tractor supply. There are several versions available.

ducks. no kidding.
other than that, for inside the house, where the ducks aren't allowed, i just hang up those sticky flypaper cylinders. they work amazingly well, but it is important to hang them near where you see the flies hanging around, so they are kind of unsightly-ly hanging out in the open

Use Garlic to get rid of them. Just make a solution of garlic and spray it around and they will leave. Their is a place to buy it but I can't think of the name.
