Hi, Are ants beneficial in a compost bin? I have a black dalek type
compost bin and when I lifted the door to see how my compost was
doing there were 1000's of ants. Should I leave them, or try and kill
them and if I should kill them, what with?

Thanks Ron

I'm no expert, but I assumed air circulation would be beneficial to the
compost, ants will certainly cause air circulation.
