I didn't see anyone post this topic so I wanted to ask this. Does A Fulva need hibernation and if so, when do they usually hibernate and what is the optimal temperature?

If you don't mind me asking, what country/state are you in?

I reside in Kentucky

Probably 3-4 months at around 40 F.

Hello! I was just wondering which month should you hibernate pavement ants. Since I have three colonies, I want to have the highest chance of survival. Any advice is appreciated!

You don't even have to; I don't hibernate mine and it's just fine.

I guess you could try, it would be interesting to see how it turned out. Ok. I will try to find some clay. Can I use polystyrene? I tried taking a large piece of polystyrene and carving out chambers that are not that high. Then I will put them face down in the container and add clay to hold it. But...

Can I just use clay to shape a whole nest and use plastic or glass on top? I cannot find AAC or plaster at Ipoh, Malaysia.
