Ants in compost bin

Hi,
does it matter if there are ants in the compost bin?
Answer from BigTex Worms
Ants are usually a sign that the compost bin is too dry. If you wet it down good for a couple days, they will leave.
They are not harmful to the worms but they are a nuisance to us humans tending the beds.
I have tried using diatomaceous earth with a little success but wetting the bin has worked the best for my bins in the past.
