Mosquito-Free Outdoor Oasis

Tired of those pesky mosquitoes crashing your outdoor party? Enter dry ice, the ultimate mosquito decoy!

Create a little dry ice haven away from your gathering, and watch as mosquitoes flock to it, leaving you to enjoy your night bite-free. A 10-pound slab of dry ice is all you need for a peaceful night with friends and family outdoors!
