Can't Tell If Lasius or Tetramorium

Hi all,
Can someone help me ID my colony? Found the queen in NYC. My best guesses are Lasius Americanus or Tetramorium Immigrans, but I can't really tell.

Trying to figure this out now mainly because they became very inactive in the past couple weeks. I guess they're hibernating or something? Unforunately, I live in an apartment so I don't have a cold room to put them in, and my fridge has a bad tendency to freeze some of the stuff I put in there, so I don't want to put them in there either. I know it's not ideal but I really don't want to kill the colony.
Thanks,
Anthony
