Over ripe fruit attract them bigtime … take the overripe fruit outdoors near the door … leave the door open for a minute or two. Most of them will follow the fruit. Close the door from the outside then trash the old fruit
amazon has a product , Aunt Fannie's Fruit Fly Punch, works great. It's a concentrated vinegar that the flies can't resist! You need to remove the home the fungus gnats are living -- I'm guessing you in Chicago during the winter have some house plants. The fungus gnats are living in the top soil. Get some diatimatious earth to top dress the soil. The gnats will dry out and die.

This is what I do, wash all fruit and vegies when you bring them home and store all in the refrig except bananas. If there were any eggs on the produce they are now in the drain, to address this problem put 1/2 cup of baking soda in each kitchen drain and follow with 1 cup vinegar. When the fizzing stops rinse well with hot water for a min or so, cover the drains with a stopper. For the airborne ones, take a mice sticky cardboard trap and cut 1 in half with the plastic cover on it, peel off the plastic cover off 1 of these halves and place a piece of decaying fruit in the center of it, that will draw them. They will land and that ends the cycle.
