I read somewhere that you just leave ants to get on with it, they will help with the composting process.

2 other things: your compost may be a bit dry, ants don't usually take up a wet residence so wee in it - or pour in a bucket of water.

Or just stir it more than you do - ants don't like being disturbed.

I have 4 daleks and one is dryer and has ants, the others are soggy and don't. I usually just let whatever wants to live in them until I need the contents!
