    It doesn't sound like fruitflies, so the vinegar traps probably won't attract them. Most good exterminators won't charge you for an inspection to identify the insects, although they will try to convince you to get on a program.

    I tried leaving shirax or merlot wine in an open container that has a snap on lid. They seem to love it and crawl around inside the container. Then I quickly snap the lid on and after awhile they drop into the wine and die. Problem solved!
