I saw those videos a few years back, and thought I too would give it a try using seltzer water. If your goal is to find all the ants, gnats and other bugs in your house, it's a great technique. They love the stuff.

It also makes everything very sticky. Is a bitch to clean off the mylar, pots...even had some overspray land on the lamps. (may want to turn off the fans before spraying, by the way, lol)
I haven't felt the need to repeat the experiment.

Overall...too messy and I saw no positive results, but only used it a couple of times, and at full strength. If you do try it, I recommend rinsing the leaves not long after spraying. I'm pretty sure the sticky residue isn't good for plant respiration or transpiration. Perhaps at a diluted concentration would work better, but every time you open the bottle, or pour some out, aren't you diluting the CO2 concentration even more? (evaporation)
