Fruit flies vs. Roommates

I keep a very clean apartment, but always seem to struggle with fruit flies. I almost always have a 40lb box of bananas ripening. My roommates are not thrilled with the fruit flies, and I cannot blame them. Do you all have any "old wives tale" remedies for how to avoid fruit flies? Currently: I've started storing my banana box in a large sealed plastic bin, and I compost the fruit peels so they are not a source of the fruit flies, I keep all sugar or food products in sealed storage tupperwares in the cabinets. Any ideas??

  • take half a watermelon, eat it up fill it with bananapeels etc. and stretch some transparent film above. now make a few small holes in it(with a needle or something).

    the flies can find the entrance but not the exit ;)
