What do people use to get rid of them, Electronic Zappers? Feromone glue
traps? sprays?
Any recommendations based on experience please.

I got an electronic fly zapper but it failed to attract a single fly.
They just thumbed their noses at it ;-)
Maybe I should have got a more expensive one.
I fall back on the fly papers, which are not pleasant but I won't use a
poisonous spray that I might be breathing in myself and definitely not
those "will last three months" things which my friend (a famous dog
breeder) tells me interfere with her house dogs' oestrus cycle. If they
can give out chemicals that can do that - I want none of them.
So I suppose my safe solution suggestion would be glue-type fly papers
unless you are a master swatter operator.
