I haven't really gotten rid of them since I brought tomatoes inside from the garden in late summer.

heard a home remedy that I'm going to try. We've got them too. applecider vineger and soap. the vineger attracks them and the soap makes their wings sticky and they drown. I've used orange soda and soap for outdoor events to keep the bee's down.

They probably ate the fruit flies, so give em a little credit. Now the question becomes, Who eats ladybugs? Time to introduce some birds into your house.

Lady bugs are good. Leave them alone. If they happen to get in your wine save them.
