How to get rids of flies and ants after you put cooked meals on the table?
From my understanding, I tried using vinegar and draw a loop around my meals to prevent attracting the ants. As to prevent the flies, I use another plate to cover my meals. This can be a hard time for cleaning because of the need to clean the plates (that is used to cover the meals) and also the table with the vinegar.
Are there better ways?

Another option for covering plates to keep flies away is a mesh net: here's one example I found by using Google to search for flycover food. This won't come into contact with the food, unlike the plate you currently use or the newspaper @AnishaKaul suggests.

Answer 2
One way to avoid ants and also the vinegar, is to fill a plate (slightly larger than the food vessel) with water and keep the food vessel in that plate.
When the vessel is placed in the plate filled with water, the water will encircle the vessel and thus will tell the ants not to cross the mark.
As for keeping the flies out, the least expensive way is to keep the food vessels together and cover them with a big clean newspaper. You can put paper weights at the end of the newspaper to prevent them from flying as the wind blows.
