Dog Pecker Gnats

They are either fungus gnats coming from houseplants or drain flies coming from your sinks and tub. Both exist on organic matter. Put out a small bowl of cider vinegar with a drop of liquid detergent, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, poke some holes in the wrap. This will attract n drown the bastards.
For drains, throw down a 1/2 cup baking soda in the drain, then pour 1 cup of vinegar down the drain. Let it fizz then pour lots of hot water down the drain to clean out the drain.
If plants, sticky traps and a pesticide like spinosad should do the trick. Wet top soil is prime habitat for the larva. Let the top soil dry out and use periodic applications of spinosad directly sprayed on houseplants and top soil.

By the way, these dog pecker gnats aren't fruit flies. They are outdoors all summer long so if they're fruit flies they are traveling a long way from fruit. Around here we just call them gnats. And unless they are in your house en masse it's not because you left fruit out or had a leaky drain.
 
Dog pecker gnats are not those sewer flies or a bee, they are small gnats that thrive of body fluids. you'd know if you had them. they constantly flying in yer eyes and nose and you can swing at em till the sun goes down and they won't leave you alone.

Now down south where it's hot and humid they thrive, just imagine yerself sittin in an old rocker on the front porch and ole bowzer is layin all spread out beside you. now if'n yer gettin more of them gnats swarmin you than ole bowzers pecker..... well you know then something is bad wrong. Reminds me of this old joke

A farmer got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding, and the trooper started to lecture the farmer about his speed, and in general began to throw his weight around to try to make the farmer uncomfortable.
Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing that he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head.

The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?"

The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said-- "Well yeah, if that's what they are-- I never heard of circle flies".

So the farmer says-- "Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse."

The trooper says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket. Then after a minute he stops and says, "Hey...wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horses back end?"

The farmer says, "Oh no, officer. I have too much respect for law enforcement and police officers to even think about calling you a horses back end."

The trooper says, "Well, that's a good thing," and goes back to writing the ticket.

After a long pause, the farmer says, " Hard to fool them flies though. "
