With all due respect, SNS-209 will not work against this. Insects in general aren't suppose to "like rosemary", however the moth is looking for a great lush place to lay its eggs , so its larvae have maximum survival percentages. If I were you (original poster) I would be on the look out for all types of caterpillars. I personally am dealing with the worst of the worst (European-Corn Borer), which drill into my buds and poop everywhere, i've lost over an ounce to these ferocious worms and I'm doing everything in my power to decrease the amount I had last season. These things flying near your plants are not something you want them used to.
Better stock up on a concentrated bottle of BT spray ( Safer brand ). As it is the only defense we have ( other than the typical tweezer/toothpick routine) !! That thing is a beast, luckily its not a european-high flyer, and the one you have will likely have larger larvae and larger caterpillars which are easier to spot on the leaves and bud.
It's when you have the perfect moth (european high flyer) lay it's eggs through the sticky trichomes ( cannot be removed ) if you don't get the egg, it will hatch, immediately drill into the stem and will no longer be seen until it decapitates a cola. Got to get them before this happens.
These worms are the largest outdoor plague, I'm amazed at how brutal it can be.
Decapitated cola, note the fecal matter on the left, followed a hollowed out core of the stem (he's in there)
He comes charging out of his home to defend it, and he actually bites the air trying to fight me off.
Be Aware
