Possibly fruit flies indoors - luring & trapping them?

 I've got these little insects / bugs / gnats.....whatever you want to
call them....buzzing around our kitchen and in the office room at home.
I initially thought they were small mosquitoes, but after having a
really close look at them, and getting to know them almost on a first-
name-basis, they are definitely not mosquitoes. (As an aside, I
definitely do get mosquitoes inside from time to time, and my hatred
for them drives me to the wall, but those airborne vampires are a
different matter). These little pests love my laptop screen too.
I think they might by fruit flies - possibly. Anyway, what is the best
attractant for fruit flies, if that's what these little pests are?
I've heard of apple cider vinegar. Well....I don't have any of that at
home, but I can guarantee you I do have alcoholic cider at home (love
it!). Obviously fruit flies like fruit, but what is the #1 best
attractant for them? I wanna seem them literally fighting each other
over whatever drowning bait I am going to use.
Thanks.

Fruit flies on your monitor? May be false chinch bugs. Why not grab one
up and send it to a local expert. Also w/o your location, nobody can
tell what this may be. I mean, for all I know, you're in Arabia.

That's not a "program error", that's a booger! :)

The best attractant for fruit flies is what brought them there in the first
place: rotten fruit somewhere.  Check around the computer and associated
waste paper baskets.

 Put some vinegar or wine in custard cups or those little clear cups that you
get stuff like tartar sauce in at fast food places, and add 3 or 4 drops of
liquid dish soap. It works GREAT! The little buggers climb in and the soap
grabs 'em!
