Internship: biological control of exotic ants

As a student at Wageningen University, the Netherlands, I am doing my internship at botanic garden de hortus in Amsterdam. I am searching for a solution against tropical ants (Technomyrmex and Plagiolepis) using biological control.

At the moment I am searching for parasitic mites for use in some experiments, if you have any idea how I could get these mites please let me know!

I don't know much about them mites but i think black crazy ants and yellow crazy ants are likely to have these mites. But i think the mites wont affect all ants, only their specific hosts. But i guess thats your research to do ;)
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony
