Ants Misbehavin'

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough
The Boomers over in the AFB near New Vegas have a problem! Giant ants have invaded their generator area and their electricity has been cut off. Talk to Raquel to see about getting this problem fixed. She will suggest you talk to Loyal first, as he has invented something that might help get rid of them.

Detailed walkthrough
Begin by starting the side quest: Volare! over at the Nellis Air Force Base by dodging shells, reaching the gate, meeting Raquel and then speaking with Mother Pearl. One of the tasks that is required of you is to sort out an ant problem. Locate Raquel, who may be in the barracks of patrolling outside and speak to her. First of all, ask about her "bug problem" (She doesn't have crabs) and shell will let you know of a power failure situation due to giant ants tunneling into the base's Generator room. Agree to help, and Raquel hands you a key, providing you access. She also warns you that the ants must of been feeding on gun powder because they tend to explode when attacked with a flame-thrower or laser pistol, and also warns you to avoid shooting the artillery shells in the Generator Building. Finally she recommends you visit loyal who has a weapon to use against the ants.
