They often appear where it’s warm and where open and ripe fruits are.
Besides chemical traps you can buy in stores for little money you can setup vinegar traps.
for this take a deep dish or a bowl, pour some vinegar (3 or 4 Tablespoons) and one drop of dish soap. Put this close to where they are the most frequent. With time they get attracted to it, will try to drink it but due to the dish soap the surface tension of the water is gone and they cannot get out of the water.
If you want to buy a trap, look for “Fruchtfliegenfalle”.
Besides that clean the area where they are the most and store fruit in containers or the fridge.

So far they are not dangerous, just annoying.

Edit: Added sentence regarding “Fruchtfliegenfalle”.
I’m no expert but they look like fruit fly babies, do you have fruit out in the open? They like to hang around bananas often, or similar fruits
You can make a Fruchtfliegen trap yourself.
Take a small bowl, fill with a centimeter of vinegar and add a drop of soap to break surface tension. They will drown in troves.
