Commercially available insulated dry ice cans serve as a widely adopted sublimation canister for this purpose. However, the closure of BioQuip in 2022 created a shortage of affordable, standardized sublimation canisters, leaving many programs dependent on aging equipment or suboptimal alternatives. Here, we present an in-house protocol to assemble insulated dry ice canisters constructed entirely from commercially available materials. Canisters were assembled using a standardized and replicable design and evaluated against legacy BioQuip canisters and other modified insulated canisters. Performance was assessed over 24-h deployment periods to capture overnight field use. The do-it-yourself (DIY) insulated canister outperformed all other tested designs after 24 h. This low-cost and scalable alternative provides mosquito control programs with a practical DIY solution for CO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    based surveillance.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2987\/26-7288","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T00:31:03Z","timestamp":1777422663000},"page":"143-150","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["DO IT YOURSELF: INSULATED DRY ICE CANISTERS FOR CO2 BAITED MOSQUITO TRAPS"],"prefix":"10.2987","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Mario","family":"Novelo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sacramento\u2013Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District, 8631 Bond Rd, Elk Grove, CA 95624"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Blankenship-Cutshall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sacramento\u2013Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District, 8631 Bond Rd, Elk Grove, CA 95624"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Brodigan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sacramento\u2013Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District, 8631 Bond Rd, Elk Grove, CA 95624"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Megan","family":"Siefker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sacramento\u2013Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District, 8631 Bond Rd, Elk Grove, CA 95624"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Na","family":"Leifson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sacramento\u2013Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District, 8631 Bond Rd, Elk Grove, CA 95624"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah S.","family":"Wheeler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sacramento\u2013Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District, 8631 Bond Rd, Elk Grove, CA 95624"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1569","reference":[{"key":"i1943-6270-42-2-143-ref01","article-title":"West Nile virus surveillance and control guidelines [internet]","author":"CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention].","year":"2013","unstructured":"CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]. 2013.
