if I leave them open for even 1/2 a minute, I get flies in the house.
It hadn't occurred to me that the dog poop would be part of the reason
for this. I imagine it actually is.

Trust me, it is. Once the poop gets cleaned up, you'll be amazed at
how the fly population decreases. I know, because I lived with the
same problem, but not for long. I don't understand people and "filth"
issues at times. I was at a store this morning, stepped in to use the
bathroom, and lo and behold, someone had changed a babies dirty diaper
on the changing table, and just left it there. Gack.

LOL, It's amazing the places people will leave these damned things these
days. Did you know?:

Eighty percent of the diaperings in this nation are done with
disposables. That comes to 18 BILLION diapers a year. Each one has an
outer layer of waterproof polypropylene and an inner layer of fluff made
from wood pulp plus super-slurper sodium polyacrylate that can hold a
hundred times its weight in water.

Those 18 billion diapers add up to 82,000 tons of plastic a year and 1.3
million tons of wood pulp -- 250,000 trees. After a few hours of active
service these materials are trucked away, primarily to landfills, where
they sit, neatly wrapped packages of excrement, entombed undegraded for
several hundred years.
