Thank you Malcolm, I'll go to the nursery in the morning. When you consider where the fly has been before he lands on your food, it is more than an aggravation!

Tansy is a common plant, tanacetum vulgare, not to be confused with ragwort tansy senecio jacobaea, a native western weed. Can usually be found in nurseries that carry some herbs. Once you've got it, you've got it; grows well under most conditions, self seeds and sometimes divides (sprouts) from roots. Yellow flowers in summer, member of compositae family, i.e., like daisy flowers with a different looking center surrounded by many petals.
Hope this helps, flies are an aggravation! Malcolm

I hate flies in the house, what in the world is Tansy?

Hi, Thanks Jay! I'll give them a try. BTW a friend has recommended to me using Tansy to repel flies; put some leaves into water and simmer on low heat - Bingo, no flies in the house.
