Re: can anyone tell me how to catch a queen ant in saudi arabia

Do you see ants around you? If there are, then a nuptial flight is bound to happen. Through 4 years of experience, i dont find it helpful at all to go looking around the neighbourhood for hours each day. They will eventually come and swarm every place in my area when the nuptial flight happens (whic...

There will be more of them in places that are near natural surroundings and greenery. If you spot ant workers around, there is bo...

You can try ordering online, but if you still cant do that, you can try placing the queen inside a small container with a wet cotton ball inside. Just make sure to keep on watering the cotton and make sure it stays moist and also to not disturb the queen as much as possible. Good luck!
