I've got both here occasionally,fruit flies and drain flies. Fruit flies will disappear with the source, ie; fruit, beverage bottles, etc. I'll store pears or apples in the basement awhile, they show up every year. Once the fruit is gone, and any returnable beverage bottles are gone, (helps to rinse those as soon as they are empty) they can't reproduce, and that's it.
Drain flies seem to resemble moths with some powdery substance on their wings. They were tough to deal with at first, but have not been in the house in years. I discovered under the lid to the septic tank, there was quite a population of them. Somehow one got through a window screen. I used to keep a fish tank with a few small turtles in my small office, that was over filtrated, meaning I had like 6 carbon bag type filters on the top of the tank walls. A perfect place like a drain, wet, sludge build up and even with a thorough clean to get rid of them, the darned miniature leach like larvae are resilient, just kept returning and maturing into flies. I forget how I got rid of them, dried those filters down, replaced with new ones, and did not use the otherwise good ones after cleaning until they had been dry a long while. Broke the cycle, but actually it seems I finally got rid of the larvae. An actual drain that is in use can be tough to get rid of them, the below link may be of help.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
