Can peppermint oil get rid of flies?
Yes. Peppermint, although it has a pleasant aroma and taste to humans, is naturally disliked by many insects, including mosquitoes, fleas, ants and flies.
Some suggestions for using it as an insect repellent include strategic placement of cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil, topical application on the body, or the use of various concoctions containing peppermint oil that can be sprayed over a broader area.

Try placing outside your home on your deck; a fly zapper with a flourescent bulb in it, of a similar wavelength. I guess its warm where you are.
Follow up:
Honey bees and most insects inclusive are attracted to ultraviolet light (UV).
The basics of the flourescent tube will create all UV light of which is converted to visable (to us) light by phosphors inside the tube. A proportion of this is still UV and will attract insects.
Placing the fly-zapper outside will work to combat the problem as they are more attracted to the special UV type lights incorporated in them.
