Alright so when you get them and you don't want to release your colony but release the alates, what should you do?

What i thought about was when it is nuptial flight season where you live, put your outworld outside and open the lid of your outworld. Do you have a slippery barrier around your outworld so your worker ants don't escape? I would try and let it happen more naturally and just let them fly out.
I live in Pennsylvania.
