Do you keep fruits out on the counter during the warmer months? At our last house it wasn't an issue. But for some reason at this house it's instant fruit flies!!! Last year we learned it the hard way and had a difficult time getting rid of them.
One bummer about summer because I like to put certain fruits on the counter to ripen.

Do you wash the fruits immediately when you get home from the store? It's supposed to help, though we still had problems in my old apartment. Maybe even rinse them in water with vinegar and see if it helps?

We turn on the AC once it gets warm, so our temp is pretty regulated and we keep fruit on the counter.
The weird place we get fruit flies is in our master bathroom... no idea why!! The moisture?

We do. We only had a fruit fly problem once and we tracked it to our garage trash can. They were breeding in there then coming in the house when we came in through the garage. My husband washed/bleached out the trash can and we haven't had an issue since (knock on wood)
