Forgive him father for he knows not what he does....
Ants are important components of an ecosystem. Their soil-moving skills make them important in nutrient cycling. They are a food source for many animals, including woodpeckers, bears, and, as any flyfisher knows, fish. Some subfamilies of ants can sting and thus may have some medical importance.

i don't WANT bears.
They also eat pests harmful to crops and orchards. They destroy garden pests, killing small larvae and culling aphids before they can destroy the plant they are on. Ants kill 40% of newly hatched plant-feeding bugs and 30% of flies, making them more effective than some pesticides. One species of ants destroys up to 12,000 larvae a day!

yeah but they're in my bedroom.

Anyway, be glad you don't have ants in your pants.
