There have been so many flies in my apartment lately and it’s really bugging me! Are there any bug repellents that are safe around Ts?

More arboreal T's. Fewer enclosures. Problem solved.
Sarcasm aside, fly paper and electric bug zappers are your only safe bets. There are also UV light/fly paper combo things that are a best-of-both-worlds solution.
Stay away from chemicals. Some insecticides are 10,000X more toxic to spiders than they are to insects. (And that's a real number, not just me exaggerating for effect.) Any chemical you introduce into the apartment poses a threat to your T's.
Stick (pun intended) to physical methods for the sake of your little friends.
