Giant Ants in my house, Should I be concerned?

Question

Two weeks ago I saw a giant ant (might be a carpenter) walking on my kitchen floor then I squash it. Just two days ago I saw another one running on my carpet floor in my computer room on the 2nd floor. I was observing it and it was running up wires at the back of my computer so I hit it and it got alarmed and it runs so fast. I started to observe it some more then after I put a "see-through plastic container" near it so it goes in. After a while I managed to get it inside then I closed it. It was really alarmed and was trying to open the container to escape. I looked at it and it was black with a little of red. I think it may be a carpenter ant. But, should I be concerned? There was two of the exact kind of ant in my house. And how do you think it got in?

Answer 1

Yes I would concerned. Don't wait until their in your bed or your food. Call a exterminator to spray your home or do it your self.

Also check the exterior of you home for holes or cracks and fill them with caulking.
