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?
▪

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?

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?
▪

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?

some dried fruits, and even dried chilies can be safely stored. When in doubt, ask
GrainPro.
