Ant
Ants feed on fungi, seeds, sweets, scraps, other insects and sometimes other
ants. Compost provides some of these foods and it also provides shelter for nests and
hills. Ants may benefit the compost heap by moving minerals especially phosphorus and
potassium around by bringing fungi and other organisms into their nests. The presence
of ants is an indication of dry bedding. Moisten the bedding a bit and most ants will find
some place else to live. If your bin has legs, place the legs in a can of water that has
had a drop of dish soap placed in it to reduce the surface tension of the water so the
ants can’t walk across the water.
