Hello, I used to manage a bar and we would get the drain flies from the beer on tap. I used Hot Shot No Pest Strips and it worked like a charm. It was the only thing that I found that actually worked.
remove any source of food if possible. use a small vacuum to catch them. they may be breeding in the damp earth of potted plants.
i have used a few squirts of liquid bleach spray into drain, from a dollar store spray bottle. spray into 'over flow' outlets as well [ i use same bleach on concrete steps and patio stone/sidewalk stains].
Make sure you keep your drains wet. They breed on the dried GOOP in your drain. Run water regularly. Don't leave food around if you have drain flies...it's a fly buffet. To capture, put a homemade if paper in the neck if a jar and put apple cider vinegar in the bottle. They LOVE vinegar. They can get into the jar but not out through the narrowed of the cone. It takes time.
I would like to know how to get rid those pesty little sink/drain flies. I've tried baking soda and vinegar, drain cleaners and put plastic over the drains.
See if this works. https://www.mnn.com/your-home/at-home/stories/how-get-rid-drain-flies-naturally

I keep my drains closed after flushing with bleach.

Pour boiling water down the drain a couple of times a week.
