Hello,
I have a gap running along the width of the door which is about 15mm in height and was wondering what i can use to to fill or whether i should leave well alone .I have thought about using filler foam but I am inclined to think the gap is there for a reason.
The reason I ask is because we get ants coming into the house and the seem to be nesting under the patio somewhere near the bifold door entrance.There is also a gap in the side off the step where it meets the wall Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks

on closer inspection I noticed there was some foam at each end of the step but not much in the middle .The other photos shows one side of the step with a crack along the mortar which could look ants through

I read in a comment on another thread that bifold doors are notorious for re adjusting themselves over a period of time which I way I was hesitant about applying foam
