Please tell me what to do and how to process it.
Krasnodar. Private house, adobe covered with brick.
There were betilids, the first time. And for the first time there were very nimble black ants, which can be crushed like a midge, they are soft. There used to be ants, but not as usual as on the street, they used to crawl only on the floor, and these ones run around on tables, press on a jar of sugar and the worst thing is, they started to take out garbage in the corner of the house, apparently destroying the house, building an anthill. And betilids with them there in one heap and ants drag them. Far from the anthill, the betilids die in clusters. It's not in the kitchen. In the room. What is this symbiosis? Can I put some ant glue on it? I'd seen beetles a couple of times before Betilid arrived, and they said they started in the dust. I didn't see them in food, the cereals are mostly all in containers. I read that betilids are good, but I can't stand them up to the stake, and if only the ants didn't take out the house... beetles could eat the house, and ants with these wasps devour them? In general, I don't know what to think.
You can't take a close-up photograph, because you don't have a lens.

The anthill has already been wiped three times in a night, and the pile is being pulled out again. http://s018.radikal.ru/i521/1606/b4/b4f63c28fe32.jpg

Some kind of Lasius (probably Lasius niger).
You can try poisoned baits, for example, "THUNDER". But in general, you need to remove the baseboard and "poison" the exit from the nest itself (it is underground).
As for the "betilids", in your pictures, the winged ants are males of the same species that appear en masse during swarming.
