Hibernating ants at room temperature

I am living in one of these ridiculously well insulated houses that have not ONE cold room, I even checked the attic and the basement, they're both even warmer than my flat (the basement is actually the warmest place in the house).
Can I hibernate my ants (probably either Tetramorium or Lasius, gonna make pictures later) at room temperature?

if u use the fridge, make sure it is on the warmest setting!
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
