4 days ago i bought a bunch of apples and bananas to my apartment.
2 days ago i slapped 20+ fruit flies out of existence in my washroom.
i left the house and came back and more showed up all over my place, near the sink, in the washroom. i poured out cereal and found 2 of them. i go use the soap bar and they're fornicating. they seem to like the mirror too
today i'm going to war. i've put a bunch of jam and an apple core in a cup and put cellophane over it, then poked a bunch of holes. hopefully they go in and die slowly and painfully. tomorrow i'm going to buy fly traps. if that doesn't work, i might consider a flamethrower. there's like 100 of them.
i hate flies so much...

Fun fact about Fruit flies:
They are total Boozers. Well, they like the smell of it. They know where there is alcohol there is yeast, which is the prefered snack for there larvae.
Pro Tip:
Pour some hard alcohol (Vodka, Rum, Gin... anythin around 20 - 40% will do) in a wide glass. Preferably a red wine glass.
Let it sit by the flies for a day.
Laugh about flies drowning in booz.

5/5, where are you located?

get some spiders and ants into your apartment. They're fruit fly's natural enemies.

If you google you will quickly find the apple cider vinegar solution, which works pretty well.

A friend of mine used to use his vacuum cleaner to fight them. I swear that guy had the fastest fruit flies I've ever seen by the end of summer.

The idea that a fruit fly would permanently increase its speed in response to the threat of a vacuum cleaner is just so amusing to me 
Anyway I was just about to suggest a vacuum cleaner. That is what I did when I had a fruit fly infestation in my room. The problem with traps is that they're localized in one area; fruit flies can get anywhere and may never come into proximity of the trap. Vacuum cleaners are fast, they're thorough, and they're effective.
Just take a vacuum cleaner, take off all the attachments so that its just a narrow tube, and then go through all the corners and crevices in your room (or wherever you have the problem). The good thing about fruit flies is that they're kind of slow, so if you see one running away you can still follow the fly and suck him back in  .
I used a fairly powerful central vacuum, I'm not sure how one of those small portable ones would work. But I figure it would be powerful enough; I mean its just a fruit fly after all!
edit: Side benefit is you have a nice clean room after that too.
