This is not always possible and depends highly on where you put the pumpkin. What you can try are ant traps or a boric acid mix.

(Boric acid dries ants out from the inside. They take it back to their queen ant and this destroys the colony.)

Do not use boric acid at all around kittens, as they tend to explore more and would be more likely to get into it and die from it. See the Related link below.

How much boric acid do you sprinkle on the dirt of your house plants to get rid of those little flying dirt bugs?
None. Boric Acid is for wall voids, etc. where hands can't go and is ineffective when wet. Fungus gnats breed in the soil and rely on overwatering to survive, if you reduce moisture to only what the plant needs, they should dissipate. Placing in direct Sun also helps dry them out. If you have many plants, I would use a granular that dissolves slowly with the water you add (reducing amount from previous) which should sped things up. Talstar is one if not the most potent granulars readily available. Use the Boric to prevent roaches in your kitchen, you can dust out all the cracks etc with a hand duster.
