These are probably 'vinegar fly' rather than what we usually call fruit 
fly.
These are very fond of the 'vegie scrap' bucket and the worm farm 
whilst there's decaying fruit material. Attracted to the acidic 
decomposition?
Make sure it's not too moist and becoming anaerobic. Otherwise we've 
been living with a few hanging around the vermicomposting bins for the 
many years they've been consuming our kitchen scraps. Seems OK if 
they're outside. Part of the web of life, decomposing the once living 
matter of fruit and vegies.
Cheers
