I have had a Camponotus colony in a Ytong nest for almost 3 years now. They are not entirely large in population, but I have noticed certain corners of the Ytong nest have seen some chipping from them. It does not look significant but I am not sure I should be getting them to move into another nest.

I would NOT trust Camponotus pennslyvanicus with that stuff if the colony has majors. They are excellent diggers, and can only be stopped by healthy (ideally hard) wood, metal, smooth AND hard plastic and glass.
Starting this July I'm posting videos of my ants every week on youTube.
I like to make relaxing videos that capture the joy of watching ants.
If that sounds like your kind of thing... follow me >here<.

It is a Camponotus sansabeanus colony, not sure if that makes any difference.

Judging from the size of sansabeanus major jaws from looking on google, it probably doesn't.
