I have what look like winged ants (black bodies with long wings) that

been congregating on the inside of a window sill in my home. There are

Any help is appreciated.

Are they large, Carpenter ants can do alot of damage, they dont spread
like termites but they ruin wood like termites.

They tend to infest already damaged wood - damp, rotted, earlier
infested by termites.
We had loads of them in/around our Florida condo, but never found them
in sound wood.
Cleaning up and making repairs worked far better than poison.
