I have no idea Mardatha. I have just left them to it!

mardatha

Good idea ! I will too.

Ants in the compost bin generally do no harm (though sometimes it means your compost bin is a wee bit too dry so try chucking some water and mix well) and will usually move on if you give the compost a good old shoogle with a garden fork regularly, they hate to be disturbed and will move on. It's when they are all over my plants that annoy me just knowing they will be protecting aphids drives me up the wall. I think I will try the semolina solution ans if that fails a visit to B&Q for a chemical weapon.
