Perfect. You will have heat coming off the wall near the house that will hopefully keep it above freezing. Keep your ants closest to this wall as you can. The key will be not to leave the garage door open for long periods of time as you mentioned earlier.

"The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer." Prov. 30:25
Keep ordinary ants in extraordinary ways.

i need to somehow heat up my ants in my garage, even though they are in a cooler and another insulator, it gets that cold here. i might need to buy a heating pad.

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
