Moving fire ant colony from dirt jar into AC hybrid nest
I cant seem to get my fire ants to leave their dirt jar in favor of the new solenopsis hybrid nest 2.0. Tried light, heat mat, and lemon juice. any ideas?

I keep:
Lasius. Niger:3 queens, 50 workers
Solenopsis. Geminata: 1 queen, 1-2K workers, 1-200 majors (including super major, sub major, etc)
Still need a name for my colonies, queen fire ant is dubbed "Karen"

Just be patient and don't water the jar, and make sure the Hybrid Nest is warm and moist.

Ok, thx. I watered the hybrid nest, and added a water tube to it. ima add an outwolrd as well and put honey in it so they know there's food in there.
