Ah, fruit flies - the biggest pest in food service.
Don't leave fruit out, fruit in the fridge stays fresh longer. Cover garbage, and dispose of accumulating garbage. Fruit flies dwell in the sewers, cover up open drains, pour bleach down drains. Fruit flies are immune to house fly treatments, a good home made trap is a paper oil funnel placed in a container with an aging peeled banana in it. The flies will fly in but won't get out.
If your really desperate call Orkin they can sell to you a specific enzyme wash that you can use to wash your floors, walls, and then pour in the drains. This treatment will do the trick. However this is really for commercial operations where fruit flies regularly come in with fruit and vegetable shipments.

I asked this same question in here a few weeks ago and got several answers. My house is clean and there was no foods sitting out. I prefer my fruit chilled. One answer I did get that helped to certain degree. Take a sauce dish, fill a little over half full of vinegar, a double drops liquid dish soap and let sit on the counter. They'll fly in and drown.

Throw out the rotting fruit that theyare eating. A clean house has no flies in it.

Flies become a nuisance when they enter homes. You can get rid of flies by using pest control.
I found the information at http://www.pests.in

I place a small dish out with a 50/50 mix of lemon juice and liquid dish soap they get attracted to the lemon juice and drown in the mixture. I anwered this question a number of times recently and have had some good responses...Good Luck !

I really have no idea, but I did hand fly strips and that does help some and I bought new garbage cans with lids, however when you find out what really works, will you let me know?
Thank's, Karen
