To look at the bright side, when your compost pile attracts lots of black soldier flies, it could've been infested with house flies instead. BSFL out compete the house fly larvae and make nutritious chicken feed. If you don't want them, the same measures to keep out flies would discourage BSFL too, such as covering the pile with a tarp or burying food scraps deep in the center.
