How can I get rid of the ant nests in my compost bin?

Our Advice:

You can use Ant Killer Granules from Neudorff mixed with water and poured over the nest to kill the colony. Alternatively, apply a biological control such as No Ants from Nemasys which uses eelworms to kill young ants and drive away adults from the nest. Also, ants prefer dry conditions so water and turn your compost more often.
