Can You Find it in Your Heart?

Can You Find it in Your Heart? is a side quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

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 seven giant ants which have been gathering at the remains of the 95 underpass, just east of the Nipton Road reststop.
 * Killing all the ants will complete this part of the quest. Once this is done, you can report back to Jackson.

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. You will then receive 100 XP. If you inquire about your "reward" after completion of the quest, Jackson will say that he never said anything about a reward, only misplaced supplies. Jackson will then give you 100 caps, two caravan lunches, a service rifle (at 65% condition), 72 armor piercing 5.56mm rounds, and two weapon repair kits. If you don't ask about the reward, you will not receive the previously listed items.
