Kitchen infested with fruit flies. Help me with your best tips to get rid of them?

[Apolloanddaphne]

My kitchen is infested and it is horrible. We have cleaned the kitchen and DH is single handedly hoovering up as many as he can with a cordless hoover. But we need to try and capture and kill as many as we can to eradicate them.

I have set traps with vinegar and washing up liquid which are working a bit and well as jars with cider vinegar and apple with cling film over and holes punched in to entice them and trap them. They are not working at all.

Have any of you got better methods? Thanks.

How do you get rid of flies that are around plants in the soil?

I have the odd ones from my plants - nothing terrible but it would be good to know what to do? I don’t want to get rid of the plants.

How do you get rid of flies that are around plants in the soil?

bright yellow sticky paper. garden centres sell it.

Could be plants. A lady I clean for has three plants on her kitchen windowsill and there is always flies.

Put bleach down the sink. They breed there overnight

but those are most likely not fruit flies but fungus gnats.

yellow sticky paper traps work for those.

Thanks @pinkbalconyrailing will try that!

Ewww fungus gnats? We live in a strange planet.

There are far fewer now than there were. The traps and the cleaning I did appears to have helped. I will get fly paper if I need to.
