How Can I Get Rid Of Fruit Flies Living In Yard?
I Live In Georgia, And This Summer We Have An Infestation Of Fruit Flies In The Pine Straw Right Outside Our Front Door Beside The Patio. They Are Getting Into The House, But I Pretty Much Have A Handle On The Ones Inside. I Already Know Every Remedy To Catch And Drown The Suckers, But I Want To Get Rid Of Them Completely, Not Just Trap The Ones That Have Already Hatched. Should We Pull Out The Pine Straw And Start Fresh? There Is Six Years Worth Of It, So It'S Pretty Thick. With All The Rain We'Ve Had, I Think It'S A Perfect Breeding Spot, Especially Because The Area Is Very Shaded And Really Gets No Sun At All. We Have Lots Of Mosquitoes Out There Too. Is It Logical To Pull Out The Pine Straw And Put Fresh Bales Out? I'M At My Wits End With The Nasty Little Things.
Use raid. Works good
Ways To Entertain My Rabbit?
I Bought A New Rabbit Yesterday, He Is Lovely 
He Is A New Zealand White. I Work With Pets So I Know How To Look After Rabbits But I'Ve Never Had One Before So Does Anyone Have Any Tips On How Your Rabbit Likes To Be Entertained? Mine Is Still Settling In At The Moment So I'Ve Not Interacted With Him Much To Let Him Get Used To His Surroundings But I Can'T Wait To Let Him Out And Watch Him Run Around (He'S A House Rabbit).
let him settle in at first, they're very curious so let him roam around the room just observing, make sure there isnt anything on sight that he could chew on (like electrical cords, plugs, rubber, certain plants....etc. anything toxic for the little guy). I'm guessing he's still a bit shy since you just bought him yesterday so if he's not walking around and sitting at one place looking a bit frightened, give him time to get used to you. you dont have to do anything, just be present in the same room while you do something else, or sit down on the ground somewhere near him...
you dont really have to buy anything, you can find a lot of stuff for the cute one in your own house!
here's some toy ideas once he gets the hang of living in your house:
•cardboard tubes from toilet paper and paper towel rolls
•paper bags
•cardboard boxes (especially a closed box with two or three rabbit sized entrance holes cut in the sides)
•cardboard concrete forms or large PVC pipes for tunnels (make sure bunny can't get stuck!)
•untreated wicker baskets or other wicker items (a wicker tunnel other items are available at the online stores listed below)
•hard plastic cat balls with a bell inside (make sure your bunny isn't chewing up and swallowing the plastic though)
•hard plastic baby toys such as rings, links, keys, rattles, etc.
•parrot toys and bells
•kitty condos (the shorter ones), tunnels, platforms
•towels
•small straw whisk broom
•straw balls ( you can get the ones meant as hamster houses; for added enjoyment fill with timothy hay)
•box full of shredded paper (preferably ink free - you can sometimes get unprinted newsprint roll ends from the local newspaper printer)
•fresh branches from apple trees
•dried pine cones
my rabbits loves to shred paper and actually eat it, but make sure it contains little to no ink if want to give him some. she loves to run around like crazy too, jump on top of the couches and look at the view of the room. my bunny isn't a fan of rattling toys or balls, but she does love boxes to chew on, push, nudge with her nose, flip, sit on...haha. I also give her toilet paper rolls or the paper towel ones. 
edit: aww he sounds adorable. my bunny is still shy even though she's been living with us for about 6 months now, but she's wonderful and sitting under the desk at this very moment^^
Is Washing Your Hunting Clothes With A Mesh Bag Of Pine Needles And Branches A Good Idea?
I Need A Good Way To Get The Human Oder Out And The Wildlife Oder In.
It’s a great way to destroy your wash machine. If those pine needles manage to get out of that bag they will get every where inside the machine and could damage it. My brother destroyed our mothers wash machine trying that. And it also left a film inside it that got on other clothes.
Just wash them in unscented soap or baking soda. Then after you hang dry them, store them in a plastic bag with a crushed pine bough.

Help Please!!!!! Contest?! Any Opinions Appreciated!?
I Am Entering This Into A Short Story Contest. Please If You Guys Could Tell Me What You Think Of It It Would Be Greatly Appreciated! Im Still Working On Coming Up With A Title So Sorry Its Nameless Right Now Anyways Here It Goes. The Chill Of Winter Was Set Deep Into My Bones In This Strange Town Of Dark. Far Longer Than A Fortnight I Spent Asleep Beneath A Large Oak And Still The Medieval And Ancient Feel Of The Town Had Not Diminished. From This Feel, The Queasiness In My Stomach Left Me Grappling For Peace And Of Course A Drink. I Entered A Lonesome Bar And Seated Myself By A Man, A Black Cat Moping By His Boots. The Cat Twitched Its Ears, And Its Yellow Eyes Were Set On Me And Me Only. From The Barman I Requested A Large Glass Of Brandy, Eagerly Awaiting The Familiar Sting To Comfort Me. Warmed To My Toes And Closing My Eyes, I Inhaled The Smell Of Straw And Pine And Gulped Down The Last Of My Drink. “This Contact Is Illusory. The Cat And I Are Separated As Though By A Pane Of Glass, Because Man Lives In Time, In Successiveness, While The Magical Animal Lives In The Present, In The Eternity Of The Instant.” The Words Of Jorge Luis Borges In His Story The South, This Book And Its Words Had Been Imprinted In My Mind Since First Sight. To Hear A Reference To The “Outside World” Had Been Just As Strage As The Reference Itself. My Attention Returned Again To The Present I Was In, To My Harsh Neighbour By My Side, And His Cat By His Boots. Hidden In Shadows His Eyes Were, But I Realized His Motive And Measured My Answer Carefully. “The Pane Of Glass Is Only The Separation Of Reality.” I Responded. “The Cat May Live In The Instant But It Is Only So, For They Can Afford To Make Mistakes. Nine Chances They Have To Make Their Choices And For Their Eternity They Shall Live, While We Must Measure And Estimate The Consequence Of Action. One Chance We Have And One Chance Only. If We Are Totally Immersed In The Moment, We Cannot Survive For The Future.” He Stroked His Dimpled Chin And Eyed Me Up And Down, “Then You’Re Time Has Come, Make Use Of Your One Chance.” He Arose From The Bar Stool And Limped Out The Door Leaving His Pet Behind. The Cat Leaped Up Onto The Stool And Flicked Its Tail In The Direction Of His Master. Its Expectant Eyes Bore Into Me And I Knew I Was Meant To Follow. And Follow I Did Through Bush And Grime, And Stream And Rock. Over And Under The Trees Of A Forest We Climbed, Rising And Falling Under The Night Sky Until Finally The Cat Stopped Beneath An Arc Of Trees. The Cats Fur Stood Erect In The Coolness Of The Shade But Its Face Was As Calm As Ever. As If Putting Himself To Sleep He Prodded The Ground And Traveled Round And Round His Own Sleek Body Picking Up Speed And Agility As The Moments Wore On. He Waltzed As He Willed Around The Forest Clearing A Purr Issuing Deep In His Throat. Prancing And Whirling Around The Edges Of The Clearing The Cat Captivated Every Attention It Could. The Trees Bowed To His Powerful Dance, And Every Insect Writhed And Wriggled Beneath The Ground As If Joining In. From Side To Side The Cat Enchanted Me In Its Movements And Ensnared Me In Its Spell Of Natures Cage. I Stared In Awe At The Power Of Nature, Of The Beauty Of Movement And The Magic In This Forest, Of The Happiness I Felt As I Began To Whirl Around With Him. Mimicking His Movements I Danced To The Tune The Crickets Played For Us. The Owls’ Calls Were Our Metronome, Our Measurement Of Time And Our Only Attachment To Reality. I Slowed My Dance And Fell Backwards Into The Brush Laughing. My Friend, Cat, Perched Upon My Knee And Called Out To Me And Sang With His Meows. ‘Make Use Of Your One Chance. Make Use Of The Time You Have. Right Your Wrongs, Correct Your Mistakes. Learn From The Past, Then Forget. Forget All You’Ve Done Wrong. All Your Wrongs Will Be Made Right, So Forget. Correct And Forget Then Continue On. Make Use Of Your One Chance; Your Only Chance.’ I Sat Confused My Mind In A Daze. The Cat’S Behind Was All I Could See Of My New Friend As He Forced Himself Out Of The Clearing And Disappeared Into The Dark. I Screamed After Him “My Friend, Return To Me My Friend! Do Not Leave Me!” But Return He Did Not. I Was Abandoned. I Was Alone. Tears Rolled Down My Cheeks And I Tried To Arise. My Cloak Snagged On A Branch That Threw My Body Forward And Buried My Face Into The Dirt. I Wanted To Cry And Scream, And Cry I Did But Still Ti Would Not Satisfy My Wanting To Fade, To Fade Into The Night Like My Friend Until Finally My Vision Faded, Faded Into Darkness. Moments Later I Awoke, Car Horns Blaring, The Smell Of Smoke Filling My Nose And Water Dripping From An Overhead Bridge. My Tattered Cloak Stank Of Dirt And Grime, My Arms And Body Marked With Scars. Needles Lay Spread Around Me, One Still Piercing My Skin. I Wanted To Revisit The Fantasy I Had Left. Where Had It Gone? Why Had It Left Me So Suddenly? Why Had It Come In The First Place? Above All I Longed For My Friend, Cat.
Great stuff! Glad you're working on it and it's so good to read the second half. The very last paragraph confused me a bit though. Where did the cars come from? This seems medieval in a way, unless it was all a dream. Right now that seems tacked on - and would end nicely with him fading to darkness.
Also I think you meant the cat leapt down from the bar stool, not onto it. Because then the main character is following. Oh and it's your time has come, not you're. I'm also wondering what happened to the man he first talked to, did he disappear into the night?
The rest is great! Good luck.
