How to kill ants in compost pile and not hurt my worms

Ants over running my compost pile(not fire ants), like to kill them. Are the ants eating my worms? Want the ants gone permentaly(as in dead).

If it is an indoor bed you can spray some kind of inscectacide around the bin and use diatomaceous earth in the bin.

If it is an outdoor bin, simply soak the bin pretty good with water and do it again for the next 2-3 days and the ants will go away. Keeping the bin wetter will keep the ants away. Also just make it a practice to sprinkle diatomaceous earth around your outdoor bins ever 4-6 weeks or so. Wont hurt the worms but will keep the ants away.

Watering my bins has been the best method I have found so far. I hate ants. But they dont seem to bother the worms.
