Ants aren't bad. They are likely attracted to sweet fruit in the bucket.
But a bucket is too small for compost. A compost pile should be about 3ft square and high with a mixure of both kitchen scraps (attracts ants) and yard waste (no ants). As it heats up and works, the ants will stay away.

a bucket is too small to make compost. once a pile gets going, it will get too hot for the ants to hang around.
