Here’s a cure for fruit flies: Put a banana peel in a Cool Whip (or similar) container. Wrap plastic around the top, and tape down so it is sealed tight. Use the tip of a knife to poke holes into the top of the plastic wrap. The flies will swarm the banana peel, following the scent to get into the container, then will be unable to find their way back out. When it is full of the little buggers, you carry the entire container out to the trash. Done.
