general rule of thumb is to put them into hibernation when you stop seeing ants outside, and bring them out again when you see ants outside.
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
