Default Ants

A friend has been successful feeding them dry cornmeal. It seems they eat
it, can't digest and the swelling kills them. If this really works it's a
cheap fix.

I have ants all over my squash. I have tried Seven Dust but it doesn't
seem to be working? Can I use real killer stuff and still eat the
squash or should I just ignore them? They are fire ants so weeding is
an issue.
