Not to worry.: Small black ants may be attracted to urine simply because they are seeking food, or by the components found in urine, including urea, water, sugar, proteins, etc. In some diabetic persons, large amounts of sugar can be excreted in the urine and therefore attract more ants. If your child shows signs of constant thirst, fatigue, frequent urination and sometimes blurred vision, they need to see a Dr.
