They are most likely to be fruit flies which lay their eggs on rotting fruit. If you make sure that any that you collect in your kitchen is covered and you cover it in your bin (a lidded caddy in the kitchen and soil or whatever in the heap) and the flies can't lay their eggs therefore no new ones hatch. You're bound to get a few in summer but it's a bit early to be getting a lot now.

Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
