Re: Hibernation
Its good to put them into hibernation when you stop seeing your local ants out and about. Just a general rule...and take them out when you start seeing ants again.

Re: Hibernation
just put them in an unheated area. a shed, garage, or crawlspace works well.
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.
