You follow their request and kill the ants in the salad bowl. Flushing them down the drain was the easiest method.
"Oh how horrendous!"
"So brutal!"
"Excellent!"
The ants seem pleased with your actions. You could ask for something in return, but then again, these are just ants. What could they possibly give you? Having completed their favor, you go about your day pretending like that never happened.
In the morning, you find messy scribbling with ketchup on your countertop. Nearly gave you heart attack, since you thought it might be blood.
"for your kindness, we have removed all rotten food from your fridge, and dusted your pantry. Thank you mighty human."
Oh nice. Guess the ants are useful. Still, now you have to clean the counter. Again.
