If you read up this thread a few posts it has already been posted that the Hawaii Ant Lab tried that technique and it didn't work.
You can try all the kinder, gentler, 1000 points of lights techniques with these ants. Maybe even try to meditate with them and call out Namaste. But so far the only thing that is actually effective is brute-force-cutting-edge-hippies-don't-like insecticides.
These aren't your grandparents ants. They reproduce using concurrent regular sexual, asexual parthenogenesis, and a type of never-before-seen method where the male can force the queen to bear his clones. All at once.
