put the fruit in a closet make sure no light can enter it, fruit flies don't like the dark.. since i have my bananas stored in a closet there's no fruit fly coming near them.
I got this great advice a while ago from a very intelligent guy. He said:
wash all the fruits with warm water as soon as you're home and I really never have any fruitflies, except like one or two n they are easy to get rid of.
This is by far the most effective method I've found: you use a bowl or old can etc. and fill it with bananas or tomatoes or anything that attracts fruit flies. Then, poke holes in a produce bag and either place it over loosely or tighten it over the container. Leave it for 1-2 days by whatever is attracting the flies and virtually all flies will be gone. Then, you can either seal up the trap in a bag, or for the ethical method, take the container outside and release all the flies. Make like 4 traps at a time and your problem should be solved quickly. Don't leave traps for more than 2 days, or else they lay eggs that hatch, furthering your fly problem.
