Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Clean your tank more often, or put up fly paper in the corners that they mostly occupy.
This is not a permanent solution, just helps decrease there abundance.

They're after the CGD. Make sure it's fresh, and none has spilled into the substrate.

You'll want to break their breeding cycle. If you leave CGD in overnight you might find maggots the next night. Removing the food the morning after feeding night and ensuring the tank substrates are not excessively moist will help.
For large collections, this might be more difficult. You could try feeding less often, letting the food dry out. This works well for sub adults and adults. For good juvenile growth, every other day might work better so just remove cups on this group.
Good luck, they are frustrating but probably don't do harm to your geckos. It's possible they can carry & transfer parasites but this hasn't been widely reported, and most crestie keepers run into issues of fruit flies.
