Got an issue with ants where they seem to be coming in from a hole on the floor where the surface is concrete.
And/or the ants could be coming through the skirting
What is the best filler to use?
I already have this and I know its for roof and gutters but would it do the job? https://www.bunnings.com.au/selleys-300g-surfmist-roof-and-gutter-silicone-waterproof-sealant_p1230176
if not what do you recommend?

Hi @raffi,
It looks like there is a bit of a chip in the concrete, is that correct?
If so, then you would start by filling in the chip with a repair mortar such as this Dunlop Ardit Rapidset Repair Mortar.
After it has set, you can seal the seam against the timber with a silicone sealant such as Sika 310ml Grey Concrete Sikaflex Pro+ Polyurethane Sealant.
Check out How To Silicone a Gap for some guidance.
Let me know what you think and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

I suggest you use Wasp & Ant powder for a while and hopefully the will be gone, then do the filler thing.
I treat ants like rats and mice, if you block entry points it likely they will find another way out and come back to visit you.
Cheers
