These gnats are very different from fruit flies that you are referring to that are around your fruit bowl. Now since I own a pest control company I could jump to say you need to call a professional, however I will refrain from being biased and tell you to save yourself from the smell of moth balls which in all reality is a chemical named naphthalene, but due to naphthalene's flammability, modern mothballs use 1,4-dichlorobenzene instead. Both of these ingredients have a strong, pungent odor often associated strongly with mothballs. So with that being said I would would recommend going to your local Ace, Home Depot, Lowes or even Wal-mart and getting a product with Peremithrin as the active ingredient. This chemical can be connected to a hose and sprayed on the lawn close by or on the building walls themselves and will repel the insects but also kill the ones that are landing on the building. This treatment will last up to 3 months but may be repeated as often as once a month.
