Two questions

I have two questions, how early do you guys go queen hunting after the rain? Is it better to go the second the rain ends or a day after?

What are the main things that can stress a queen out? Because I know that a hot room is good for eggs laying but what if that room has electronics ""TV,video game,computer, fan ect"" plus noise and activity. Can those things affect the queen negatively.

This is my first season and I have only found brachymyremex sp. and a RIFA queen. I find that I have the best luck a couple hours before the rain to an hour or so after. As far as a place to keep them... I have some in my garage and some in my air conditioned room (about 15 total). I find the ones in the room (with my computer PS3 and other junk) is doing just as well as the ones in the garage with a much higher temperature.
