Fruit flies everywhere!?

I forgot a few apples in a bag in basement two weeks ago and now there are fruit flies in every room. How do I get rid of them? I tried a small dish of cider with a couple drops of detergent and I got a few but is there anything faster? I'm having company for Thanksgiving!!! Don't want to hand out fly swatters :(

    i'm a scientist that use to paintings with fruit flies. they're probability unfastened. To do away with them, placed out a pair bowls of apple cider vinegar. The flies have an interest in those products, so as that they are going to get caught in it. in case you retain meals picked up for awhile and capture them, they could desire to optimistically no longer be a topic quickly. solid success. with regard to killing them interior the refrigerator and microwave, neither of those could paintings. the only thank you to kill them with chilly is to freeze them for long sessions of time. that's probable an identical with warmth (microwave no longer warm sufficient).
