Yeah, you need your location in your profile. Also, not to burst your bubble you’re pretty much scamming yourself considering the amount of Solenopsis in the US.

Ants are small creatures... but together... they can rule the world.

Just go outside on a day that's 70+ degrees after it has rained (within a week) and look around on sidewalks and gutters near the street and on paved tracks in public parks. Solenopsis invicta fly typically around noon until about 3 pm in my area and can be seen walking in the above mentioned areas quite commonly.

Also, not dissuading you from buying queens (you still need to add your location), just giving a tip!

If you have a swimming pool or know someone who does, just check it each morning/early afternoon and you'll eventually find Solenopsis queens. I just found 3x in my pool last week. All three of them are in test tubes and have laid eggs already.
