Houseflies can take in only liquid foods. They spit out saliva on solid foods to pre-digest it, and then suck it back in. They also vomit partially digested matter and eat it again. The flies can walk on vertical planes, and can even hang upside down from ceilings. This is accomplished with the surface tension of liquids secreted by glands near their feet. Flies continually preen themselves, cleaning their eyes with their forelegs and dusting off their legs by rubbing them together. They do this because most of their taste and smell receptors are on the hairs of their legs. Flies have a very highly-evolved evasion reaction which helps to ensure their survival. It is possible to confuse a fly's evasion system by swatting it with two objects simultaneously from different directions. The holes in a fly swatter minimise the air current which warns the fly of being hit, whilst reducing air resistance and increasing speed of the swat. This evasion reaction can also be used against the fly. Clapping your hands several inches above the fly will cause it to try to escape, usually into your just closing hands. Hope I Helped!

Flies probably can't hear, but they are very sensitive to changes in air pressure, and since loud noises cause a periodic increase in air pressure, they can probably feel it--and a loud voice they can feel, whether they hear it or not.

The old 'I'd like to be a fly on the wall when..." statement is dead on its ass because if you noticed flys have huge saucer eyes where there ears should be, plus our voices would sound so deep that to a flies small and possibly non-existant ears would be equivalent of us trying to follow a conversation between two blue whales! So, my point is.. even if they do, without some decent sized ears and a formal education in the art of conversation and enunciation I think its game over dude...
