A small quantity of CO2 will increase the growth rate of plants. Allow the dry ice to sublimate in close proximity to the plants for 10-15 minutes daily.

Infestation of bed bugs has become a serious problem because most of the chemicals used to control them are now banned or restricted. Removal of small infestations or testing whether you have them is possible by building a trap using dry ice.

Use dry ice to maintain refrigerator and/or freezer while power is out. The right amount of dry ice can maintain the cold for up to three days.

Use dry ice to keep food and beverages cold all day without the water mess found with regular ice. You can use dry ice to bring game or fish home frozen.

Dry ice when combined with hot tap water will produce and awe-inspiring display of bubbling water and thick voluminous fog. Use a pound of dry ice for every 4L of hot water for 5-10 minutes of maximum effect. Since dry ice retains a temperature of -78°C, the water will cool rapidly. Replace with hot water to maintain desired effect.

Place dry ice in the bottom of your cooler and the fruit directly on top. Close cooler and let fruits freeze for 20-30 minutes. Remove fruit and place in freezer safe plastic bags as needed.

Dry ice can be used to preserve the human body until the funeral. This method has been proven more environmentally friendly than the use of toxic, embalming chemicals, and MUCH less expensive.

Dry ice, when combined with heavy plastic bags can kill moths, larvae, and eggs through fumigation. Place clothes for fumigation in a plastic bag (at least 3mm thick). Wrap 5 pounds of dry ice in a towel/rag and place inside the bag. Seal the bag but ensure there is enough space for the sublimation to escape rather than building pressure. 20-30 minutes should be adequate time to finish the job.

Mosquitos love dry ice!! ‘Why? The reason mosquitos are attracted to both animals and humans is because when exhaling, we produce small amounts of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide). When CO2 is detected by a mosquito, is registers the location of it’s next meal of blood. As dry ice sublimes to CO2 gas, it’s equivalent to over 1,000 people breathing at the same time in a close proximity. Therefore the mosquito will zoom in on the dry ice because of the high concentration of 100% pure CO2 gas that dry ice expels. Place 5-10 pounds pieces of dry ice away from areas where people are gathered. Works amazing!
