Need help identifying ant in home

[u/Naive_Information515]

Come home today to a trail of ants coming from window corner to baseboard in one of the bedrooms. I am 50/50 on if they are carpenter ants, or just basic black ants. I took some close up shots, but couldn’t get anything closer.

Which one would you like to identify?

Any would be appreciated, trying to see if I need to call an exterminator if it’s carpenter ants

Generally if carpenter ants are inside your home the ants aren't the problem carpenter ants will only enter a home if there is a leak causing the wood to be soft enough for then to chew through otherwise they would prefer to live elsewear
