I don't want to be too hard on you, but hasn't this happened before?
Yes but it almost happened again
Please remember to feed your ants, don't be concerned of they don't eat right away, just leave the food there until it molds, rots, or is consumed.

Why doesn't he feed them some of the car he eats daily?

You've found more queens inside your house then I have ants in my colony.

Perhaps you have a colony living near or in your house that's having nubtial flights?

If that's an ant colony having nubtial flights, none of the winged ones are mated.

You can't with 100% accuracy, but a good rule of thumb is to never take winged ants from areas where there are lots of other winged ants near a ant nest.

Just make sure you catch the termites from areas that you are sure haven't been sprayed with pesticides, as they could be harmful to the ants
