Dry ice is an interesting idea. I want it to work, because it is just so deliciously different.
However, I assume the harsh reality says that it is nearly impossible to suffocate the entire infestation, and more than a few survivors or eggs would remain after the treatment.
- scarmig 3y agoThe goal isn't to suffocate them, but to draw them into a trap--they're attracted to CO2 because we exhale it. Over time, the hope is you trap and kill the entire population. I think it'd work for mild infestations, but for larger ones the heat method is really the only option.
- fbdab103 3y agoI suppose that seems much more plausible, if significantly less cool, ahem, than making a low hanging CO2 bath.
