Greetings. Is caulk is a good method for ants?

Even though we know that tiny ants are still going to find some equally tiny openings to move through, we at least can concentrate on fewer entry points if we have permanently closed many of them. And, every opening we fill to exclude ants also excludes all those other crawling invaders too.
