Can You Find it in Your Heart?

 is a quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Quick walkthrough

 * 1) Begin the quest by speaking with Ranger Jackson at the Mojave Outpost
 * 2) Kill all the giant ants near Ivanpah Dry Lake (west of Nipton Road Rest stop).
 * 3) Return to Ranger Jackson

Quest Start
Speak with Ranger Jackson at the Mojave Outpost. Ask him if you can help. He will tell you that an insect infestation is preventing safe passage for the supply caravans. Jackson offers to "lose" some supplies to pay you if you help him.

Clear out the Critters on the Road by Ivanpah Dry Lake
The "critters" that are causing the problem are giant ants who have been gathering at the remains of the 95 underpass just east of the Nipton Road reststop. Head there with some good insect hunting weaponry such as long range rifles to burst the heads off the soldier ants, and something for if they swarm. It is easiest if you wipe out the giant soldier ants first then the larger workers, then the smaller workers. If you stay on the upper concrete walls and shoot down from above, it makes this quest a lot easier. There should be a total of seven ants. Shooting the anetennas of the ants preferable the soldiers makes this quest a breeze.

Another idea is to simply rain dynamite or other explosives down on the ants.

Bugs:(No pun intended) Ants may become stuck in road and become unable to be hit/killed. Should this occur, it is still possible to finish the quest by using the "no clipping" cheat.

Return to Ranger Jackson at Mojave Outpost
Once you begin conversation with Ranger Jackson, he will thank you. When you ask about the reward Ranger Jackson tells you he can hand over a few weapons nobody would miss. After completion you will receive 100xp, 100 caps, 2 Caravan lunches, A Service rifle, armor piercing 5.56mm round, and 2 Weapon repair kits. You will also be able to sleep in the Barracks now.
