We get fruit flies all the time. They appeared several months ago and we've never managed to get rid of them all. If we try hard (searching the house and vacuuming them out of the air, leaving out small bowls of vinegar which attracts and kills them, etc.) we can usually get rid of most of them, but there are always a few that evade our grasps.
Yesterday we bought a tiny little venus fly-trap (3-inch carnivore, says its label, which is cute) and brought it home and put it in our kitchen. We haven't seen a fruit fly since. I think they all got scared and left.
Of course, this means our flytrap will starve. Sigh.

It never figured out how to catch flies. We even caught one and fed it to it, and it never ate it. It was strange.
Glad yours is working better for you ;)
