How deep do black garden ants nest?
Why don’t more people like ants?
Is anyone from Wyoming who wants to sell ants?

What is "black garden ants". There is at least a dozen species with this common name. Lasius niger typically nest about 1 meter, but are can be close to the surface under rocks in summer
When you accidentally reply to yourself…

I believe he is referring to Lasius neoniger, as he is in North America. I also often find them nesting under rocks like SolenopsisKeeper said.
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.
