Spotted three carpenter ants in my house in the past month

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering how much I should be worried about seeing three ants (two by our sliding door area) in the past month. We are going to be extra careful about crumbs, etc, but do you think it's time to start laying down traps or calling in an exterminator before if gets worse? Or wait and see?

(None of the ants were winged so far, but they're huge!).

I'm also a first time homeowner and not handy so not sure how to check for cracks or gaps, but can learn! Excuse my ignorance, but I've never dealt with an infestation before and am not sure about how aggressive to be with the solution at this stage.

Thank you in advance!
