To get them out:
When it is dark outside, turn on a porch light or some other light outside and then turn off every light source in your house and they should leave within a few minutes.
To keep them out, make sure that you always clean up the kitchen and don't keep food waste in open containers.

If you place a fan to blow across wherever the flies are coming in from (door, window, whatever) it will help keep them at bay. They don't like to fly across the turbulent air. I've seen restaurants use it to keep them out while leaving the doors wide open. I've even seen some places hook them up to switches, like a fridge light, so they'd just come on when the door opened. It works. And if there's files around you, sit in front of a fan, works like repellent.

Flies will fly to the light. So a night you can herd them outside by turning of lights room by room. Screens on the windows should help keep them out. You might consider pest strips as well. Do not leave any food out, as that attracts them as well.

1) Buy electronic insect zappers and hang them outside your house
2) Move out of the country
3) Remove all garbage and open food sources from anywhere in your house - including the kitchen
4) Consult a professional pest control company

You should focus on eliminating all nearby breeding grounds as well as entry points to your home. Maybe check your screens and door-seals. See the source for a very in-depth article on doing these things.

I think the best results would be to keep the door and windows shut or put in some screen's

Use fly traps....those sticky things you hang from the ceiling. And there is no way to prevent them form coming in. They're sneaky little buggers!

The thing you hit flies with flyswatters.

Hang flypaper from the ceiling. You can get it in a home improvement store.
