Protecting grains with insect proof bags.
A campaign supported by USAid will popularize the use of the gunny bags, which are fitted with plastic linings to control pests without the use of chemicals.The bags apply simple technology, starving insects of oxygen, so they suffocate. This eliminates both the insects and mold by depleting oxygen levels and producing carbon dioxide within the storage unit.
In 2014 USAid tested 2,000 bags and trials confirmed effectiveness in entirely eliminating wastage,the hermetic bags can control all pests, including the large stock borer.
In Kenya,the insect-proof bags launched this week will stop the loss of about five million bags of maize annually mostly to a notorious pest nicknamed 'Osama' continue
