You can mix organic, raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar in equal parts with water and spray lightly on the pups. Also, remove any stool, food or anything else that may attract flies to the area. Use a fly trap or "fly bag", purchased from any hardware store or home improvement store, to draw flies away from the area and trap them.
