Default Carbon dioxide and scale insects

I recall that there was a thread a while back on using CO2 to get rid of
scale and other insect pests. The idea was to put the plant in a 100%
CO2 atmosphere for some length of time. The insects, being animals and
needing oxygen, would die.

Has there been any more information made available about this technique?
Anyone tried it?
