On this particular forum no ant selling or trading or giving away is allowed outside of the GAN project.
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

An alternative is to look for them, see here:

Even if ppl don't think of ants as urban, they are there.

Watch the AntsCanada video on catching queen ants, where Mike walks along paths and tells about what to look for. Personally I will look for Camponotus in decayed wood, since it's my best option to catch queens atm in Norway, you could do the same. All you need is a small bottle in your pocket, and do a walk.
