11.4.
CAN YOU ADD OR TAKE OUT ITEMS ONCE THE GS BAG-1.0
TM
IS FILLED AND CLOSED?
▪
Yes, you may add or take out items. If the added items are infested, the insects will naturally
modify the internal atmosphere again and die off.
11.5.
DO I NEED TO FILL THE GS BAG-1.0
TM
ENTIRELY FOR IT TO WORK?
▪
GS Bag-1.0
TM
is designed to work effectively at any given load. Load your GS Bag-1.0
TM
to its
optimum dimensions to ensure full protection from insect infestations.
11.6.
SHOULD THE GS BAG-1.0
TM
BE ONLY ERECTED INDOORS?
▪
No. GS BAG-1.0
TM
is designed for outdoor use also under all types of climatic conditions.
11.7.
WILL A PUNCTURE NEGATE THE BENEFITS OF HERMETICITY OF THE GS BAG-1.0
TM
?
▪
No, although a hole/tear will allow oxygen to seep into the GS Bag-1.0TM 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
TM
. We recommend immediate repair
of all punctures or tears.
11.8.
HOW DRY MUST THE GRAIN BE TO STORE IT SAFELY IN THE GS BAG-1.0
TM
?
▪
The GS BAG-1.0
TM
works best with grains at or below critical moisture content.
11.9.
CAN THE RODENTS CHEW RIGHT THROUGH THE PVC MATERIAL WHEN THE GS BAG-1.0
TM
IS
ERECTED?
▪
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
TM
if the sides are not properly stretched or rodents drops down from
any object hanging over the GS Bag-1.0
TM
such as a low
–
hanging branch of a tree. In areas
with high rodent activity, we recommend that a GS Bag-1.0
TM
be protected using anti-
rodent barriers.
11.10.
CAN AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES OTHER THAN GRAIN BE STORED IN A GS BAG-1.0
TM
?
▪
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.
