My ants escaped!

So over night my small lepisiota colony escaped. I think they are nesting under something in my room.
How should I get them back when I find them?

If it helps they had completely vanished from their setup overnight.

ohh, first try looking around every were and do a through clean, next once you have found the ants, grab the queen and then use a hand held vacuum to suck up the rest of the ants.
Queens only:
Myrmecia Pilosula (6 larvae, 1 pupae)

Early Stage Nests:
x1 Anonychromyrma (15-20 workers)
