    well the best way is to first clean your bathroom make sure there are no damp areas and clean the drains the best you can.

    now to get them out of your house cause even if you clean the sinks they will find othere areas in your house to bread.

    Trap: Take a clean jar and put a piece of fruit in it (slice of orange works great doesn't leave a rot smell) then take some tinfoil enough to cover the top tight and put that on. make a little hole in the middle about the size of a pencil eraser . Now leave it in the area that they are in. check it in a day and they will all be in there. put your fingure over the hole and then turn on the sink and run water in it and then shake the jar.

    Ta Da your fruit flies are gone. set it out a few times just to make sure you got them.

    p.s fruit flies live for 10 days but they bread faster then they die no matter how hard you clean. believe me lol so do this trap will put a stop to it.

    Source(s): I had fruit flies for a month and couldn't take it. so i tried this and i haven't seen one.

    Actually, they are probably coming from your drain. You can flush out the drains with some baking soda and vinegar (do both sink and tub). This actually works as a drain cleaner. First put in some baking soda, then pour some white vinegar over it. It will foam. Let it work for a few minutes and then run hot water down for several minutes. This will clear the guck out of your pea traps and the flies will go away. If you have to do it twice, it is totally worth it and also your drains will flow much more freely. Works for me!

    Put the fumigating tent (or however you call it) around your house.
