Hi last year I put a mixture of cider vinegar,water,and a coupla
drops of dish soap in a wide shallow bowl....because the soap breaks
the surface tension of the water the flys land and immediately sink
and drown...ignore their crys for help and you'll catch dozens a day
depending on the extent of the infestation....andy j.

Forget about the insecticide sprays you buy, even the ones that say they are
for fruit flies. They doe absolutely nothing.
