We've got rid of the fruit, but still got the flies. Help?

Dont worry, they will disappear ere long.
I managed to go on holiday without washing out my to-be-composted bin first and opened the lid to a cloud of the little buggers. Left the backdoor open with some old banana outside.

They aren't harmful.

We've put one of those sticky fly things in the compost bin to try and catch the buggers. Reckon I'll find a shrivelled potato tucked away somewhere. That's what it was last time I had an infestation. Nice. Thanks ladies x
