Sorry for the late reply. I meant The Ultimate Ant Keeping Handbook (He talks about it in his YouTube clips sometimes) https://www.AntsCanada.com/product-category/literature/

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 (which happens to be just a month ago), and i dont have to look too far when they all just land at my front yard. You just have to stay patient and keep your eyes open for heavy storms/rains that happens after a long period of no raining (very important!). Nuptial flights in my area ALWAYS happens during rainy seasons and they come out in the afternoon or night. Drastic seasonal changes are also worth looking out for. I wouldnt recommend buying from a seller especially when this hobby is a very niche one in your part of the world. Goodluck!

A battery powered UV light insect trap set out during your rainy season might be your best chance at catching some newly mated queens. You need to set it up in a shaded area away from city lights and close to the wilderness and check it once daily at minimum.

A pit fall trap usually works.
