    Help! My pumpkin hills are being invaded by ants. Does anyone know what
to
 do?
 
 Thank you,

This could be a sign that the ants are farming Strawberry Root Aphids on your
plant roots.  Treat area with 1-2 gallon mix of Diazion per label
instructions.  That will kill the ants as well as the aphids under ground.
Diazion granules will not kill any aphids in the soil.  It will keep it from
happening again though.
