How do I get rid of them? Lately, I've had a mini infestation mostly in my kitchen, but a couple of them are making their way upstairs?
Please help, they're driving me batty!

Thanks sunshine! I've got a glass with cider vinegar and dishwashing liquid set out on the counter - hopefully my problem will be solved by morning!

I have put out just plain white vinegar to kill mine before and it works spledidly! The ACV and dishwashing soap should work too!

Oh my gosh! This morning when I woke up I had 9 fruit flies in my "trap". I've set out a new trap for tonite, hopefully it keeps working!

I tried this too, and caught probably ten. Thank you!!!! It worked like a charm!

The ACV and dish soap always works for me. We've had them really bad this year and at times I've had close to 30 or more of the little buggers in a cup after just sitting overnight! Hope you have great success with it!
