It wasn't the fruit basket that was the problem, but my trash can. I'm scared of apartment bugs (I have a known allergy to cockroaches) and my apartment is amazingly warm and dry, so everything goes into the fridge. Add to this that I don't produce much trash, because I recycle everything and Toronto doesn't have a green bin program for apartments, so all food waste goes into the trash.
The solution is to be more prompt about getting the trash out. I've been doing it daily since the battle started. I figured that they can't live without food and they can't breed without nesting material. Remove the two and you remove the fruit flies.
