Answers:
Fruit flies lay eggs in your drain, so you want to kill the eggs off first!. Boil some water and pour it down your drain!.!. Then take bleach and pour that down!.!. As far as the other ones go, for some reason, vinegar kills them!. So, what I did was put vinegar in a glad plastic container, cover it, and punch little holes in the top!. With in a few days, they were all gone!.
For follow up, just make sure you don't leave fruit out and don't leave dirty dishes in the sink that long!.!.!. Good luckWww@FoodAQ@Com

Fruit flies come from eggs laid on fruit, not from dirty dishes (though you might want to think about not leaving dirty dishes in the sink for a week -- you could start attracting vermin waaayyyy worse than fruit flies)!. Refrigerating your fruit as soon as you get it home helps prevent hatching (even bananas -- the skin will turn black, but the fruit inside stays fresh)!. I guess you could try some flying insect spray, but those are pretty toxic!. I read that fruit flies live for less than two months!.!.!.you might just have to wait it out!.!.!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
I used the fruit fly trap and they were gone in a day!.!.!.I just used apple cider vinegar and a few drops of dish detergent!. Put it in a container , covered it with plastic wrap ( with a rubber band around to keep it tight ) and poked about 20 very small holes in the wrap!. It worked great! I had a few tomatoes left from my garden that I forgot about in the basement and was infested! This worked great!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Set a bottle of beer or fruit juice out near them overnight- they will go in + be gone!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
basically just give it time but they can grow from old food or garbage so keep things clean and they'll die in a day or twoWww@FoodAQ@Com
You need to look for old fruit laying around that is what attracts them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
