Get rid of fruit flies?
Answers:
I TOTALLY KNOW THIS ONE YAY! get rid of the food scource... I.E. garbage or very ripe/rotten fruit... take vinegar and put it in shallow dishes in problem areas... it makes them go away.... its a little smelly, but an air freshener will cover the vinegar smell and it will do the trick in a couple days!

personal experience... ex co-worker told me and it really worked i was shocked!
Put out a saucer of beer.
Eat all of the fruit
Just use some RAID for house insects. I'm sure that'll take care of it.
put a dab of dish soap in a cup of water near the plant they are inhibiting. they will fall in, and
hair spray....spray on them..their wings will stick together and they will fall to the floor...make sure it is extra strength
I worked in a bar that used to get them in the summer sometimes and this was the trick we used:
Apple Cider Vinegar Trap
The apple cider vinegar trap is another very effective trap for ridding fruit flies. Cover the bottom of a cereal bowl with cider vinegar. Cover the top with saran wrap and punch the top with a half dozen holes placed at least 1/2" in from the edge of the bowl. The fruit flies quickly enter but cannot find their way back out.

Good luck, hope I helped!
Put a few drops of Vinegar on a coin in the center of fly paper.

I've heard a bowl of white vinegar. But I'm not that patient, I use flying insect spray and throw my fruit out!
