I have little tiny flies around all sinks and the toilet. They look
like fruit flies, and could be since last week I found some potatoes
that somehow got put in a plastic tub and were forgotten. The tub was
filled with these flies, but was taken outside and tossed. I would
think the flies from that would be gone by now. They seem to hang
under the toilet rim and hang around all the sinks. I have a septic
so I thought about those little **** flies that live in septic tanks
and such, but the sinks all have traps and of course the toilet has
water in it. Because I have pets that must stay indoors, (caged
rabbits and cats) I dont care to use "Raid" or anything like that. I
did pour bleach in all sinks and toilet, but that did nothing. I can
not imagine where they are coming from, nor how to get rid of them.
Any suggestions? Thanks for all help.

Use a trap. Maybe fly paper would work. If you put some jelly in the
bottom of a jar with a constricted neck they will go in there. When
you have quite a few, put the lid on and toss the jar.

Wash down all surfaces in the affected room. A friend had an ongoing
infestation in his kitchen until he washed all of the counters (some
people need a motivation besides godliness, I guess). My guess is
there were eggs all over. A regular bathroom cleaner should suffice.
