Caulking on a roll

Will this fill in a tiny crack along the edges of a conservatory floor (below the windows) - to stop ants from getting in to the conservatory ?
Rather than a tube (my hands are not steady)

If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

    You might be better to eliminate the ants. The little devils will get in through the tiniest hole so sealing them out is very difficult.

    The bait stations with fipronil in them have worked for me in the past.

    Agree with eliminating the ants.
    I have not used the 'chaulking on a roll so cannot comment.' but I have apply the chaulk in a tube indirectly, by using  a chauking gun to squeeze  the chaulk onto a plate and quickly apply it with the tip of my finger / with a chaulk applying tool <-- this helped me to smooth surface the out about  but I was not expecting a professional finish.
