Beetles in the curing barn.

[BigWill]

Hello FOH,

I was watching a video on curing tobacco in Cuba and they said that the temps are 75+ degrees and the humidity 75%+ in the curing barns. My question is why aren't the tobacco beetles eating up all of the leaves while in the curing stages.

I've searched and I couldn't find any info, thanks in advance for your replies.

If I recall correctly, they use pesticides / fumigants throughout processing.
