When my ant colony hibernates should I leave them in my house, put them in my garage, or put them in a mini fridge at a special temp?

Put them in the mini fridge at 40 deg. F.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.
