10 Point "Best" Answer 9 times in 2 weeks!!!! Put 1/2" of Brown Apple Cider Vinegar in a 16oz cup or glass. Then add 3-5 drops of liquid dish washing detergent into the vinegar in the cup. Place the cup in the room where the Fruit Flies are...They will be attracted to the "Apple" Cider Vinegar, fly into the cup to investigate and subsequently drown. This is a SURE thing and works incredibly well. I've caught literally hundreds of Fruit Flies overnight doing this myself. NO Muss. NO Fuss,NO Chemicals...NO Sweat....
You will of course have to find the rotten fruit,garbage,fruit juice container and get rid of the "source" before this will work.
Adult Fruit Flies literally lay hundreds of eggs that only take 15 days to grow into full adult Fruit Flies.The sooner you do this the better..If you have more than one room with flies..Put a cup in each of these rooms..You will be absolutely AMAZED at how great this works!!!

to get rid of them take a bowl of luke warm water add soap to it and fill it till the bubbles reach the rim.the flies are attracted to the bubbles, they get stuck in them and cant make it out. also make sure theres nothing moist in your room. if the bowl of soap doesnt work do the same thing except this time put saran wrap on top and poke tiny holes in it. they go in but they cant get out.

They love empty pop cans, banana peels, etc.
