Hibernating ants with plants
What would be a good place to hibernate my ants without killing my plants because there's no light . Would the shed be too cold . Usally it doesn't get very far past freezing where I live and it never gets into the negatives.

Hey I assume you have a natural nest, all plants that experience winter will hibernate, so they will go dormant for the winter. I forgot they did at first also.

But will my shed be ok to hibernate ants . Don't won't to use attic because attic is too dark .
Re: Hibernating ants with plants
What about the garage? It must at least have better insulation than the shed.

Don't have a garage . I think I can just put them in the attic during the winter because the plants will be dormant . Am I right ?

Can the plants survive that ? Also I'll be using at least a 10 gallon aquarium so I don't think that'll fit .

What if you took out the plants and put them in their own pots then when your done hibernating your ants you put them back in their outworld.
