Follow the trail back to the mound if it’s ants. Then, use ant powder on the mound. The ants carry the powder into the mound as food which kills the entire mound. You would need to put chemicals on the fruit/veggies.

These are leaf-footed bug nymphs (Leptoglossus phyllopus). Definitely not ants of any kind. Judging from the photo, they hatched recently.  
They love tomatoes and tomatillos so I’m not surprised they’ve taken up residence. They don’t bite or sting, but they do damage fruit and vegetables. Interestingly, they also like magnolia trees. Are there any magnolias around your friend could move them to?

I don’t enjoy bugs.
