You'll have to decided for yourself as, having read the "which" article, I'm not sure!!
I had a nest in a bag of new compost earlier this year and I couldn't use it for seeds as the ants and eggs were right through it. I scooped up as many eggs as I could and put them in a bucket of water. The rest of the compost went into a wheelbarrow and I stirred it up every time I passed to disturb the ants and expose the eggs to the sunlight. The ant activity stopped but I'm still not happy about using the compost.
