We are having trouble with ants in an unheated attached sun room. It appears there are different castes with some larger winged and some without wings. We are concerned they may be Carpenter ants. Can you help us identify them or tell us where we may send them for ID? Attached are two photos

Expert Response
I am unable to identify they type of ant/insect in your photos. I have provided a link below that has photographs and information on carpenter ants. When I compare to your photos they look different. I would recommend contacting a local pest company to do a consult and identification.
