Freezing, as WingedWolfPsion said, is inhumane, as are most other "home" methods, including CO2. Besides, it's not like euthanasia is horribly expensive. (It's only $11 here; I've had to put down a couple geckos.)
I took a large lizard to be euthanized by a vet. The vet was unable to find the blood vessel when injecting the chemical, so then had to do it orally. The animal took several minutes to die, I will never do that again.
