How Do I Get Rid of the Tiny Flies in My Kitchen? Good Questions

Q: I'm having trouble with tiny flies in my kitchen! They are about 1/16" wide, have two tiny fly-type wings, and are slow-moving. I find them mostly around my front door, my kitchen window, counter tops and walls, but they don't seem to be interested in food. Any idea how to get rid of them?
