I have a guinea pig that's attracting them. I keep the cage clean weekly, but I still can't keep the fruit flies away.

First get rid of the fruit and standing water that will cause gnats like fruit flies. Get those strips that you hang up to catch flies they work...

Yeah- they are a pain. Just clean up all the food, including display food like bananas or apples, scrub the counters well. Drain any water that is sitting out (it's a breeding ground) and empty all the trash cans. You might want to clean your toilet too while you are at it.

Clean clean clean... Take out the trash, lysol & or bleach everything that you think might be spawing the flies..wipe surfaces, laundry areas, garbage areas, sinks, showers, toilets, cabinets under sinks etc etc...
After flies comes mice, after mice comes rats, after rats comes racoons after racoons comes the board of health to manually evict you.

We went to Walmart and bought some fly paper. YOU buy them where they sell bug spray. I catch hundreds of those pest daily.I hang the fly paper from the ceiling.KEEP the sink free from dishes, and that should do it. Some times i spray around the Windows thats where mine come in at. good luck

They are a form of fruit fly. Remove over ripe fruit. Once their food source is gone....they're gone.

Use raid.
But remove all pets first and close all windows, spray the room and leave for an hour.
