admin answers:

They make traps that attract and catch them. Do not seem to work the best but they do work. Have you looked to make sure some of the fruit flies are not a swarm of termites in the stage of looking for a new place? If the windows are open with no screens it will be hard to not get the flies in where it is cooler.

Paul asks…

How can I get rid of fruit flies in the house? (Sydney area)?

Those annoying pesky little things - they fly so slow and you can't catch them. They buzz around any food stuffs, not just fruit. When I spray them with fly spray (pyretheum), they just appear to hiccup and fly off - no effect! I tried locking up everything for a few days, the minute I moved back into the unit, there they were again. Arrrgh! Help!!!

admin answers:

There must be something attracting them, it may not be fruit but one of the cleaners you are using, some are citrus based.
Are you sure they are fruit fly and not vinegar flys.
There are natural fruit fly attractants that you can use to trap them before they enter the house. Cheers
