Domestic ants? Dangerous. We all know what we got with cats.
But you have Terry Pratchett's computer Hex in the Unseen University laboratories with ant processors (anthill inside) needing more ram skulls. Hex is more powerful than druids stone circles even with updating from sixteen to thirty-two megaliths.

Then Adrian Tchaikovsky's Chidren of Time. It's about spiders, but controled ants is key around the last third of the book.
