How do you get rid of fruit flies inside the house?


I need some natural and some drastic solutions to get rid of them...I disposed of any rotten fruit and cleaned the house, I don't know where they're coming from??

By some chance is there any scent that they don't like that I can spray throughout the house?

had fruit flys show up in our new home about three months after moving in. Sorted the fruit/veggies, tossed the dated stuff and refridgerated the rest for a few weeks. made sure no food left out also. flys died off

They HIDE in your fruit. One time I took a bag of peaches to peek in the bag Then right then a swarm of Fruit flies came out! This is how I get rid of them...Put a bag of fruit RIGHT beside the sink the next day push the bag...They will come out. Make sure that come out INSIDE your sink...when they do spray them they will die right when you do.

Pour some vinegar into a small bowl or jar lid add a drop or two of dish washing soap. allow a couple days to work The flies think its water and drown

get a fruit bat ?
