jvision Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 And the Queen will be around 6' in the ground! You might be able to order a starter colony online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ichthyosporidium Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 You could wait untill spring when you get a few 'nuptial' ants which are winged and ready to go and star a new colony. It is going to be a pain to order online but here is a good start Ant Cam This iste is informative and has good suggestions on online ordering. Just remember that it might be a problem getting them into Alberta as they are pretty anal about foreign insects entering our province.

Toirtis Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 The problem with ordering ants is that the CFIA bans the import and shipping of queens and permits only worker caste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
