The ones coming out of the sink are drain flies. They're easy to swat but hard to eradicate because their bodies are covered with protective hairs that shrug off pesticides: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychodidae Fruit flies are smaller. I hate it when they're flitting around the bananas I want in the store.

Wouldn't 'draino' have been better?

Mushy peas and black pudding may do the job. They'd get stuck in that sh*t. Only after it's been through me, at least once!

Like I said bleach or Drano should do the job. Won't work on fruit flies, sweetie.

For what it's worth, I found a great way for fruit flies that works for me. On the occasion that I have cherries in the house, I put the pits in a little cup, then cover it with saran wrap with some holes poked in it. They find it irresistible, even though it ain't pretty. How do they get to the pits if it's covered with plastic film?

How do they get to the pits if it's covered with plastic film? I use a toothpick to poke the holes. They can get in like gangbusters, but they can't get out. It's a double win for me, because I love cherries and I love killing fruit flies! Oh, okay, that's what I do with the vinegar traps. Which are mostly working, but some still persist. I found they're chowing down on some potatoes I haven't eaten yet.

No need for vinegar or any other magic liquid or powder. I find the little chap, below, usually does the trick by singing them into submission.  Come on li'l' ants,da,der,da,da And follow me,da,der,da,da

I use a toothpick to poke the holes. Thank you for reminding me about toothpicks. I've been using a knife point. The only time I ever remember that I've got toothpicks is when I need to to test a cake.
