ants in nesting box

Hi Janity,
i'm new to this too! and i'm having a similar problem. tons of ants keep nesting in the corner of my coop. I know they're probably not a problem for our little hens but it doesn't stop us from worrying, does it?  Perhaps theres an organic way of getting rid? I hope someone knows, or maybe has ideas on how to keep creepy crawlies at bay. Any help would be very much appreciated. 
let me know if you find any way of shoo-ing the ants away. my little chooks don't seem interested in pecking at them at all. 
All the best,
x
