Maybe you provide a bit more information? What kind of ants do you owe?

To stop it right now: put them into the refrigerator and cool them down to 5-7 degrees. That would ame them slow and less agressive. Leave them in there for some days.
Than tell us a bit more about your colony so that we can work with more information :)

Yes, refrigerator 5-6 degrees for a while, then put the ants at a quiet and cold place.

Dont disturb them for a few days.

Where have you got the colony from? How many ants?

Hm you dont speak that much, um?
However, cool them down or bring them back where you`ve found them...maybe that´s the better way.
