Default advice on how to get rid!!!

of house flies that is

Right, I don't want to use any chemicals (if I can get away with it) but I have about 10 flies roaming the kitchen as I am trying to prepare dinner. Does anyone know of anything I can do ? (apart from go out to dinner tonight)
Cheers

and before there's any smart arse replies I have tied a fly swat to the broom but they're too quick and even Fred won't come out his corner to help me out. If I don't get any replies soon I'm gonna give up and just lay a few extra places at the table

They drive me up the wall too, always descend when you have food about I get the mortein out though, the low allergenic one, spray them when they're over the half of the room away from the kitchen, kills them more or less right off.

er no we always eat by about 4.30pm - 5pm if we can - we then got the evening to enjoy (plus I'm cooking a roast and I like to slow cook the meat)

You can get sticky patches to stick on your windows, flies land on them, the patches contain poison, the go away to die, quite fast and without the need to fill the air with a nasty aerosol.
