Three words: Death from Below.
Sure, the barbarian can kill one every round, but when the ants start burrowing up from underneath his feet and swarm? he's in trouble. I used to use this tactic back in the old days of Sim-ant. if the evolved spider (the one that shoots laser beams) is invading your territory, dig up from underneath them and swarm.
You could use special rules for mobs (from DMG 2) as the swarm surrounds them. bonuses to hit, bonuses to damage... good stuff.
