Anyone know any tips for moving Camponotus because mine do not seem botheredby light and i cannot do heat very well and no matter how moldy the setup is or how little water there is they will not move. :?

Stop shinning the light on them, it does nothing to make Camponotus move. If possible, try heating the new nest. That is about the only other way than dumping.
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.
