Well, you can look along your side walks. That is how i find many of my queens. Or in your driveway. These are really close to home. Hopefully that helps!
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. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

I agree with those posting above. You don’t usually attract the queens, you have to seek out where the queens are and when they’ll be there. Nuptial flight guides https://www.formicul...g-chart/?p=1004 show the months when various species are flying. Weather conditions (usually warm and humid 24-48 hours after a rain) further define the likely day of a flight. With this information you have an indication as to when a species is likely to be about. Be attentive to the season and weather conditions, have some test tubes with caps or stoppers available, and keep your eyes peeled for queens in flight! It’s late in the season but there are late flying species around. Good luck!

A black-light set up would be the best way to get ant queens to come to you, but it’s a bit late in the season for that.
