That's avery common problem this year in our area (SW ON) from what I hear. We have them too.
Washing out the empty beer and wine bottles helps. :-)

Make a fruit fly trap...

Use a jar,, put a tiny piece of banana at the bottom and fodl a piece of paper into a cone and stickit upside dwon in the jar...

The fruit flies go in and do not come out. Just release them outside... not by and open window so the fly back in and your problem is gone in 48 hours. If they are aroudn longer than that it is probably you they are nesting on.

Fruit flies are only a nuisance -- no health effect at all.

I was in San Jose during the Medfly invaion -- even the supermarkets were chock full of them, and nothing you could do about it.

Fruit flies are our friends. A great deal of fundamental genetic research was done using them.

And of course ...

Time flies like an arrow
Fruit flies like a banana

The Mediterranean fruit fly is considered to be a major menace to the commercial fruit industry worldwide. They feed on animal feces for protein in order to produce eggs, which they then lay in fruit by puncturing the skin and injecting them. Outbreaks of food-borne diseases associated with fresh produce consumption are rapidly increasing, reinforcing the need to identify the source of contamination
