Answer 1

I put a little small dish with some water wine and soap.

They go to the dish cause the wine, and then they die and get stuck cause of the liquid dish soap.

Answer 2

bomb your house with gas

Answer 3

prevention:

Bleach sanitize everything! They're probably in your sink drain, the garbage can too.  Bleach the basket.  Bleach counter tops and anything else they could be using to eat. (Sanitation guidelines for bleaching are 1 TBS to1 Gallon water good for 24 hours, but I go a little stronger)

killing them:

Best way: Get one of those fly ribbons.  

Home remedies:

Vinegar does indeed catch more flies than honey, so leave some vinegar out in a bowl

Also, I like empty wine bottles or juice bottles:  they get drunk, can't find their way out and then the next morning you cap it and toss it!
