I am pretty certain these are pavement ants. They are dark brown in
color.
I measured the workers, and they are all 3/16 " long, which matches
exactly
the length specified for these ants in one of the online resources I
checked. In addition, I saw some winged reproductive individuals leaving
one of the spaces, and this also matches the description of the pavement
ants.
