Ant identification

Post: # 48424Post Tsutsu

I found this queen on my ceiling in late July in Oroville, california. She now has 10 baby ants crawling around and I need to know what species she is in order to know what to do next. I think she's some camponatus species considering we have many black and red camponatus nests on our property. Help would be greatly appreciated!

Here are drive links to the pictures since they're apparently too large to post on here :?

Thank you, batspiderfish!
Looking around at pictures of velvety tree ants has revealed that all the Carpenter nests are actually velvety tree ants!
