This sounds like a job for the little guy.
“Say hello to my little friend.”
I wish I had this when I was a kid. When I was little our dog had puppies and my dad made a house and penned them in the back yard. I’d kill over 100 flies a night and it didn’t do much.
Ya, if you don’t mind all the bad luck…
So all shots are over the left shoulder…
Wait, screw superstition. Superstition did not bring me laser beams.

It’s simple to make a no-kill fruit fly trap:
That’s it!
If you want to kill the flies anyway, put liquid in the bottom so they will drown, or put the cup in the freezer for a while. (I once tried to release some fruit flies in winter; they only lasted a few seconds.)
According to my dad, in rural India in the 50s, people would make a torch out of discarded coconut fibre and hold it up at night - instant insect roast, and local stray dogs would come running to crunch up the remains like Cheetos 
That’s good for spiders, certainly.
Once casualties mount, they may be willing to negotiate No Fly Zones around the house.
Time flies like a winged arrow.
Fruit flies like stale beer.
