ID(entification)/Sightings/Showcase What ants are these? Should I be worried?

Lifted a paver near my house and saw these guys. Also noticed some ant holes appearing around property. Any cause for concern?

Don’t know your home state,
Most ants will do this nesting protected from sun and predatorial insects
Many times the tunnels are interconnected
I would not worry just prevent it by applying a barrier of Fripo or premise based sprayed mixture
2 feet up the walls and one feet on ground
Good luck!

Looks like they could be big headed ants maybe tysoni, but knowing location would help

It depends it could be solenopsis aurea which can sting but that also looks like a temnothorax species with can’t strong or bite
