The little scurges you refer to is the common Drain Fly.

They do like sweets, but will go for anything. They are a Fruit Fly, but not the kind that ruin intire industires, like the Med Fly, Mex Fly or Oriental Fruit Fly.

They can be trapped in a item called a McPhail Trap, which uses yeast to attract the little blighters to the jar, and once in...they can't get out.

A vile pest called Apple Maggot is interesting as it has a pattern on it's wings which when viewed upside-down looks like a large spider. The fly even moves its wings in such a way to look like large spider and intimidate would-be preditors.
