Cloves
Find a Mexican grocery store or go to the Mexican isle in your grocery store and locate the bags of seasoning. Once there, grab a few bags of cloves. Buying the bags of cloves is a lot cheaper then buying the bottle of cloves by about $3.00 per bag. Big difference when you are looking to save some money.
Modeling Clay
Get some modeling clay from either your child's room, or go out and buy some from your local hobby store. You can even go to one of those $1 stores and pick some up there. Try and get a color that will go with the decor near your front and back doors. If you cannot find a specific color, go with either black or white.
Cloves and Clay Together
Take out the cloves and the clay. Mold the clay into ball probably the size of a golf ball. Place about 20 cloves all around the ball of clay and place onto a small plate. Place the plate with the clove creation next to your front and back door and watch the flies disappear in no time!
Saves money and keeps the flies away! What more would you ask for.

OMG, how clever. Don't have this problem, but what about moths?
I'm going to try it; we have a really bad fly problem this summer. It's been the wettest summer in NY since 1903! All the bugs just love it. I'll try anything it at this point!
