I'm Worried

Ok, so I've been trying to find Tetramorium Immigrans queens for a while now. I have a pool, and I would've taken some from the pool, but there is a nest right in my yard so I thought they may have been infertile. Now it's late July and they've stopped landing in my pool. Am I too late? :?

You may be, your best bet is to look under rocks in the morning. You can find some that way and get ones who have shed their wings.

Your nest may also be “refilling” fire ants do that in my area, where some nest use them all at once and get more in 1 month
When you accidentally reply to yourself…
