We had a major infestation a few months ago but they weren't
fruit flies, they were fungus gnats, growing in the pot of a
beautiful 12" tall mango plant I had managed to sprout. The
gnats were pervasive and annoying.

My garden center expert told me that it was due to overwatering,
causing fungus in the soil which the gnats fed on. Unfortunately
I wasn't able to get rid of them w/o throwing away the plant.
Luckily it was the only one of all the indoor plants affected and
we haven't seen any gnats since. It was a beautiful plant and I
was sad to have to trash it.
