Hi people, hope someone can offer some advise on how to get rid of ants
in composts.

Yes. Keep the compost damper. Ants (and woodlice) are a sign that it
is too dry, and DO NO HARM. Do not waste your time and money trying
to kill them.

To a first approximation, ants do no harm to gardens, and are usually
beneficial. Kill specific nests if they are especially irritating
(e.g. they raid the kitchen) but otherwise ignore them,
