Bug ID help

Just doing my due diligence as a first time homeowner here: a couple black ants have been seen inside. They're carpenter ants, right? The head size is throwing me off a bit. I can't tell where they're coming from exactly yet but it's probably the greenbelt behind us; I just couldn't find any in the backyard. I would love recommendations on treating them.

On our front side, there are several brown ant hills by our curb stop valve that are very active every year. I just rebought some Tarro liquid ant bait stakes and put them right by the hills. Anyone have better recommendations for this? I don't have a good sense yet of what types of food sources to use as things heat up here, especially since they're different types of ants.

I really appreciate people's time and help with this. Thanks in advance.

How are you teaching your kids to be business minded or money conscious?

I think about this a lot. So much of modern life keeps people on the rat race or obsessed with appearance. What are you doing with your kids that you think will give them an advantage with their future? My kids seem to really fight me on "responsibility talks" and I need to mix up my approach.

How to switch to local work?

Ideally I'd stay remote but I want to see what options are good nearby that can help fund my job search until I land the next good remote role. I haven't been here long so I don't have a list of employers to start crossing off. What recs do people have for finding local work after being remote?
