Have had a few in the compost when DW dumps the bin but doesn't turn or tell me to turn; cinnamon helped along with a turn...
The vacuum works for fruitflies AND ladybug infestations...

Oh AS, you know me. I tend to buy answers rather than build them. But your plans look easy and I have everything I need to make one. Just no fruit flies...

Another easy fruitfly trap:
I put a bit of bread and butter pickle juice in the bottom of clear mccafe drink cup. Added a drop or two of dish washing detergent, swirled to mix. Adjusted the straw hole so the flaps are back to almost completely closed and snapped it back on. Left on the kitchen counter, I count two dozen dead fruitflies floating in the cup and no more flying around.
