Default Ants in the Compost

I've got a nest of ants in my biggest compost pile. It is still working and
hot in the middle when I turned in yesterday. Any suggestions of best way to
get rid of them? Thanks


In the early spring I sometimes see ants in my compose bin. My solution
is to add fertilizer and more moisture. The fertilizer helps the pile
heat up. The ants are always gone within a week.
