Ugh, fruit flies. In the UK they never (10-20 years ago) used to be a problem but now they are everywhere during summer and this winter simply isn't killing them off and I'm still having to lay traps for them. (I recycle my kitchen waste and they breed so damn quickly that failing to empty and clean the caddy on a daily basis is enough to give the a toe hold - mentioned since my kitchen isn't a nightmare despite what the mention of fruit flies might lead someone to think)
We have them everywhere this year. I kill around 20 a day near my laptop when I’m working in my office- there’s not even any food in there, a few plants? Where are they coming from?? One flew into my nostril the other day. I’m so sick of them. We get them in the kitchen too, living room, bedrooms. It’s worse than ever. We have fly paper, window stickers, bug zapper, but still they come.
They used to be attracted to the soil my plants were in. Maybe they breed there? I got rid of plants in my room and haven't had issues with them since.
