murder away; because if you don't, they'll be on top of your next morsel of food as it goes into your mouth (sorry for the but it's true!). bug-killers anonymous, here we come!

I usually protest murder ... but some things have got to go ... pray for the dead fruitflies ... first say a brocha so they hear a mitzvah ... but do NOT eat the banana (or onion) they have been procreating on ...  _________________ _________________

Definitely the way to go. If they seem to be around your sink, maybe it's time for a new sponge? And cleaning the drain (boiling water, fly gel, bleach, whatever) sounds like a good idea too.

Why do you say that?

Well, you know what they say, "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana"

Count me in clarissa's camp. Find the offending produce, get rid of it, and the wildlife is gone. Don't just drop the banana in your trash bin: put it in a plastic bag and tie it shut first.
Why kill them? Collect them and donate to your nearest genetics lab. Geneticists research on fruit flies because their life cycle is so short, it's possible to collect tons of data on many generations in a short time.
