I keep the stuff in the freezer, that was also bought off the reserve, things are cheaper there as a business on reservation land, becomes income for the reserve not the city's surrounding. Canada also taxes the hell out of tobacco just because? anyway..
I was able to come across the environmental factor, I am going to see if anyone local has it before ordering any. in the meantime I put up stickies put a hollowed potato in there and I'll switch that out once a day if it attracts the larva. if that is all a wives tale I'ma go cry and spray the dirt with my tobacco soap water. I am also letting it dry out instead giving it a half liter every two days per plant, I am hoping with a diverse set of stresses maybe the population can be shocked and buy me some time.
