 They are Prenolepis Imparis, AKA Winter ants
If I am correct, they are polygynos meaning they may mate inside the nest….

Acording to antwiki, P. imparis colonies are polygynous. But even with this information and the fact that you are trying to 'change the pharomones' of the males, I still don't believe this experiment will be successful.
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]

I mean even if they do mate without "changing the pheromones" it will be a success. I just want them to mate.
Currently Keeping:
-Camponotus Castaneus
-Camponotus Pennsylvanicus
-Aphaenogaster Picea
-Tapinoma Sessile

There is ways to do so with invicta but I will not be naming them because I find it inhumane and crazy to breed them
