We made a natural wasp killer which worked on some of the '"jeps" on this property. Other battles are still in progress. Apparently the French pronounce guêpes similarly to the "jep" said in the Caribbean but the Quebecois say something that sounds like "gype".
I have also been learning that mainland Europeans are more likely to say something like "we have cheese yet", or use yet at the end of a sentence whereas I grew up hearing "we still have cheese" and we would only say yet at the end of a sentence if it was something sarcastic like "we were wondering if you answered the question yet".
