I think you can put in some water, and then tip it just enough so that the water does not spill but they should jump in.
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.

They float on water, and don't put the whole thing in just about 25 of them. You can feed them rice.
