A friend of mine used to get a lot of Craneflies in his old house, until I told him to stop 'cleaning' away the spider webs from his open kitchen windows. The result was a dramatic drop in the amount of flies getting in, and some very large spiders.

For the same reason I get very few flies in my own home, and the only thing that crawls across my carpet is the occasional spider.
