[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yesterday I was gardening and trimming bushes that were touching the exterior walls of the house. I saw a line of ants and followed the line up to a crack in the brick's mortar. Hundreds of ants were entering and exiting the hole that leads to the laundry room. I was so excited - I found the source of the ants! How do I fix it? It's a crack in brick mortar. Can I put clear caulk in it? DH says no, but I don't know why it would hurt. Ideas? Thanks. [/quote] Sure you can put caulk in it, but I'm not sure I understand. Is the mortar just degraded? If the mortar is generally decaying, you should repoint. Are the bricks cracked anywhere (potentially much bigger issue) A "crack" sounds unusual in the mortar. As an aside, you should caulk all holes you can find to your house. [/quote]
