8.7.

 

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU DO NOT RECOMMEND THE GS BAG-1.0/G-HF FOR? 

 

Yes, the GS Bag-1.0/G-HF is not recommended for storing fresh fruits, vegetables, or 
medicines. 

 
8.8.

 

CAN YOU ADD OR TAKE OUT ITEMS ONCE THE GS BAG-1.0/G-HF IS FILLED AND CLOSED? 

 

Yes, you may add and subtract items. If the added items are infested, the insects will 
naturally modify the internal atmosphere again and die off. 

 
8.9.

 

DO I NEED TO FILL THE GS BAG-1.0/G-HF ENTIRELY FOR IT TO WORK? 

 

GS  Bag-1.0  is  designed  to  work  effectively  at  any  given  load.  Load  your  GS  Bag-
1.0/GHF  to  its  optimum  dimensions  to  ensure  full  protection  from  insect 
infestations.   

 
8.10.

 

SHOULD THE GS BAG-1.0/G-HF BE ONLY ERECTED INDOORS? 

 

No.  GS  Bag-1.0/G-HF  is  designed  for  outdoor  use  also  under  all  types  of  climatic 
conditions 

 
8.11.

 

WILL A PUNCTURE NEGATE THE BENEFITS OF HERMETICITY OF THE GRAINPRO GS BAG-
1.0/G-HF? 

 

No. Although a hole/tear will allow oxygen to sip into the GS Bag-1.0/G-HF and will 
cultivate  live  insects  around  the  puncture/hole.  Tight  stacking  of  the  stored 
commodity tends to prevent spreading of infestation inside the GS Bag-1.0/G-HF. We 
recommend immediate repair of all punctures or tears. 

 
8.12.

 

HOW DRY MUST GRAIN BE TO STORE IT SAFELY IN THE GS BAG-1.0/G-HF? 

 

The GS Bag-1.0/G-HF works best with grains at or below critical moisture content. 

 
8.13.

 

CAN RODENTS CHEW RIGHT THROUGH THE PVC MATERIAL WHEN THE GS BAG-1.0/G-
HF IS ERECT? 

 

Yes, but only if the sides are not taut enough. Rodents can only gnaw on the smooth, 
slippery  surface  of  a  GS  Bag-1.0/G-HF  if  the  sides  are  not  properly  stretched  or 
rodents drops down from any object hanged over the GS Bag-1.0/G-HF such as low

hanging branch of a tree. In areas with high rodent activity, we recommend that a 
GS Bag-1.0/G-HF be protected using anti-rodent barriers. 

 
8.14.

 

CAN  AGRICULTURAL  COMMODITIES  OTHER  THAN  GRAIN  BE  STORED  IN  A  GS  BAG-
1.0/G-HF? 

 

Yes, most dry agricultural commodities such as seeds, pulses, beans, coffee, cocoa, 
some dried fruits, and even dried chilies can be safely stored. When in doubt, ask 
GrainPro.
