Default Insect/Compost problem

Hello everyone,
How do I get rid of the clouds of whitefly and a sizeable ant colony which
both appear to have taken up residence in my compost bin? Am I going to to
have to nuke it? I recently moved it because it wasn't doing anything much.
cheers,


It sounds as if it's too dry. I would add some liquid, preferably your own
pee which is the best possible home-made compost activator, and that will get
it going.
