Well then these aren't Monomorium pharonosis. Those are tropical ants which can be found inside houses but not outside on your area. I recommend you post an ID request.

So is it Solenopsis molesta or Monomorium pharaonis? I'm with Martialis; I don't recall M. pharaonis to be native to New Jersey.

I don't recommend digging colonies from the wild. Many many things can go wrong.
