I was going crazy looking for their breeding ground and finally found it. It was the last place I looked, naturally! I went to give my dogs fresh food and wash their dishes. When I picked up their dish a whole cloud of fruit flies came flying up!! Yuk!!!! Just thought I’d let others know in case they’re looking all over like I did and couldn’t find their breeding grounds!! Hope this helped someone! I got rid of them by changing their food and water at least twice a day and I put a little bleach in the dish water when washing their dishes. Hope this helped! By doing this I got rid of them in about a day!! Thank You.

Use a vacuum cleaner with a hose to suck them up, and clean up after yourself, you slobs!

Citrus Soap and water. Can help you best idea is to refrigerate things throw old food away. And start clapping them dead lol make it a game.
They love fruit so refrigerator use if preferable.

My wife came up with putting isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle to use around food that must be left out to ripen (cantelopes, bananas, etc.) and food prep areas. It is not a fast killer but has knockdown power whence I relish hitting them with the killing shot. The alcohol will evaporate from counter tops and cabinets, etc. leaving only the dead bugs to vacuum up.

When I bring in my plants in the fall, Fruit flies are raising in the soil all winter. I spray the soil constantly and I also sprinkle it with insect granules , but I see no reduction of them. Does this do any good?
