Carpenter ant help

Delete if not allowed….I’m desperate.

We’ve been getting carpenter ants coming in through this window fairly regularly. About 2 weeks ago, we were experiencing some swarmers coming in. Usually about 2-3 a day. The swarmers stopped coming, though other little guys kept on.

Had pest control come out and check to see if there were any obvious signs of a nest in the walls. They didn’t find anything and said they should stop in a couple of weeks.

Now to today: we literally had 3-4 swarmers in the house and 3 more are in the window in the last 2 hours. We’ve also noticed there are a ton in only one window. I went outside to see if there was any obvious trail. Only thing I noticed was what appeared to be a winged male at the top of the window outside.

Ant experts, where should we look to find the big nest? I’m so sick of cleaning up these guys and gals.

Any guidance is appreciated.

Thank you!
