There is a plague upon my kitchen.

The truth is that I am not the cleanest of kitchen keepers.  In addition to the fact that I compost so it can happen that a bowl of vegetable matter is commonly upon my counter.  But oh the fruit flies.  It is so disgusting.  How do I get rid of them.  My husband would say that I need to keep the kitchen clean and take the compost out immediately, but I have a toddler and it is often a miracle to get my self fed much less rush out to dump the remnants into the composter.  I have seen containers for this specific purpose with charcoal filters.  But would this reduce my fruit fly problem or just the smell.  A friend told me to put a glass of wine out for them, the idea being that the little fellas would fly in, have a sip, and drown in a drunken stupor.  The glass has been out for a couple of days and as you can see (lower left) we have only two victims.  Fly paper works fairly well but the above sample is a few months worth and a small percentage of the population.  Any brilliant ideas would be appreciated.

Edit:  I did find this helpful page.  Although it does involve me having to scrub my entire kitchen. Oh bother.
