You fill up several one gallon Ziplock bags and hang them around an area. For some reason this acts as a deterrent. It sounds weird, but it seems to work pretty well. Google "bags of water flies" and a bunch of sites will come up discussing it.

I despise those depressing commercials. Bonus: Insect protein shakes for all the starving kids!
