What Causes Ants To Swarm Around Toddler S Urine?

Hi my daughter is 21 months old. Every time she voids urine I notice that big black ants (carpenter ants) swarm around her urine unless I clean it with detergent. She doesn t have any other symptoms related to diabetes or any other metabolic disorder. Should I be concerned?

Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Get her urine tested for sugar and pus cells
She may have pyuria ( infection )
If positive will need a course of antibiotics
Wishing your child speedy recovery
