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. For the latter, mix boric acid, water, and sugar until you get a thick paste (the sugar is to lure the ants). Smear this over some cotton balls and place them around where the ant hills are. (Boric acid dries ants out from the inside. They take it back to their queen ant and this destroys the colony.)
