Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord did according to the word of Moses,.... Did as he entreated him to do, as follows:

and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; by what means is not said, whether by destroying them at once, as the frogs, or by driving them away with a wind, as the locusts afterwards:

there remained not one; the meaning is not, not one swarm of flies, but not one fly, there was not one left; which looks as if it was in the latter way that they were removed, since, if in the former, they would have remained, though dead, as the frogs did, for a little while.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 8:31. The Lord did according to the word of Moses — How powerful is prayer! God permits his servant to prescribe even the manner and time in which he shall work.

He removed the swarms — Probably by means of a strong wind, which swept them into the sea.
