That's not a carpenter ant. The head's shaped wrong. Next time you see flying ants, check ALL your baseboards and windows. When I was a kid, we used to get swarms of ants like that a couple times a summer. It was always really easy to tellwhere they came from, because the places from whence they issues would be covered with them.
Once you've identified a swarming point, gate it and soak it with your pesticide of choice. Keep the kids away from it. Hit it once a month for a year and the ants will die off.
