    Hi

    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get rid of an anthill in a compost heap ?

    I used Ant Power last year and thought that had dealt with it but they're back !

    What harm can they do there? Leave them alone I'd say.

    +1, leave them.

    or stir it up and give it a good soak.

    The activities of ants will turn your compost into the finest growing medium you will ever see. All part of the natural process. Watering is a good idea - ants need water for their eggs.
