Clean out the garbage, if there is even a trace of organic moisture on the garbage bin for example, they will be attracted to it, and may lay more eggs. So wash everything down, wash down fridge handle, taps, cupboard doors and knobs...anything that might have come into contact with fruit, fruit juice, sugar or anything like that. Run some baking soda and vinegar down your sink to bubble-away any bits of food that might be down the drain...

Should be much better this time next week.

Thanks!! I am trying to hang in there!! This started on Sunday. I guess thats why there are periods of a ton, then just a few. When the eggs hatch its a ton!!
I'll make sure everything is clear of food particles and hope for the best.
The vinegar and soap didn't work last night
