2.4 Where do I get ants?

Check outdoors. Ants live in most climates and across the globe
excepting the extreme northern or southern polar regions. They
can be found almost anywhere.

It is also possible to set out bait to collect many ants. See the
following question "How do I catch ants ...? (section 2.5)"
--Mr. Ant

If you don't have or don't want to catch them, then you can try
ordering worker ants (no queens) from:

  Ant Farm, Dept. AM
  5717 Corsa Avenue
  Westlake Village, CA 91362

  Phone: (800) 869-7555
       : (818) 707-0800
  Fax: (818) 707-0878

Frankly, purchasing ants seems an incredible waste of planetary
resources. They generally can be found in your backyard, parks,
deserts, mountains, etc. They even can be found in cities
relatively easily and can be attracted even more so.
--Mr. Ant

Not only that, local ants are more accustomed to the climate in
your area. --Ant
