"The simple answer is that if you keep the piles damp, and if you turn them occasionally, ants won't be able to set up permanent housekeeping. "

But ants may actually help the heap, see below.

get you mix of greens and browns and water right and the pile will start 'cooking'... the temperature will be too high for the bugs to live there.....mixing it up helps, too...

I've herd that you can put a ring of borax around it and they won't pass it.
