I have tried DE and saw no improvment. I had a mite infestation some years ago. I sprayed Permethrin. To my surprise it got rid of the mites and the flies and is cost effective compared to some other products.
Here is a chart a friend made for the different concentrations. A bonus is there is no egg withdrawal period.
I have attached this in other posts. The lines marked in yellow worked best for me.

Fly Issues

My coop constantly has flies either around it or in it. I’m wondering if anyone knows of any repellent that is poultry safe? I found “Diatomaceous Earth” that would be poultry safe. Has anyone used this for their coop/run? Anything can help!
