We had huge black ants and found out they were carpenter ants. They are different than termites but can still cause structural damage to a home. We had an exterminator come out. He comes out twice a year now. We were lucky to find out where their nest was (neighbors tree). It was crawling with millions of them one night around midnight. It was like a Horror flick. Google carpenter ants and see if they look like what you have.

Carpenter ants also have a more rounded thorax compared to the black ants.
