Have an exterminator coming out, but I'm fearful that they did more damage up in the attic. I sure hope not.

Exterminator came today. They weren't carpenter ants, they were termites. I've never seen any around the place. He found that they were coming up through the foundation around the pipes in the slab. It is amazing they can do that, because on that side of the house the slab is 4 feet thick.
I went in the attic, and looked for any obvious damage, but the way my rooms are laid out, I can't get closer than about 15 feet to the area. I'm going to cut an access panel to that part of the attic in my closet, so I can get a closer look.
