Do large flies eat food? The bait on the mouse trap has gone & its not a mouse. What else could it be? We did have a large influx of large flies?

It's probably one or two very small mice, large enough to eat the bait without setting off the trap. Mice are pretty smart creatures.

There are no holes in the kitchen thought we got a brand new kitchen (its small) but they mouse proofed it too.

Yes, but it would take a lot of flies to consume a visible amount of food.
