When I first started composting my husband was concerned in case we got rats and mice. I asked about it at a garden show and was told to keep the compost wet because nothing likes to live in wet accommodation.
I had ants in my compost dalek - first time, I poured a lot of water on it and left the lid off in the rain for a couple of days- not difficult last year. The ants went.
