From what understand, it’s not about bananas getting over ripe - the eggs are laid on the peel and then hatch in your house.

When I have an issue, I put some apple cider vinegar and dish soap in a shallow bowl and cover it with cling wrap. I then poke holes in the film with a fork. Fruit flies go in and get trapped.

Put some Coca Cola in a mug and add a little water on top. The mug should be about half full. Leave overnight and the flies will be gone or almost gone as they’re attracted to the sugar in the Coca Cola

Get rid of the bananas or put them in a fridge dish - those pesky little flies are fruit flies and there are usually hoards of them in August, especially if you have a bowl of fruit standing out.

Citronella candles.We were plagued a couple of years ago and so was everyone I knew in our two villages. These worked a treat . Amazon .
