I have two spots where the coping meets stone and ants have made homes there.

Daily I find spots of sand and debris there. What’s the best way to fill these gaps?

I planned on loading them up with clear outdoor silicone unless that’s not recommended. Thanks

Keep silicone away from the pool. Once it’s on, you can never put anything else in its place cause it won’t stick. Use a urethane or sikaflex for small joints and some of those bigger voids might be better filled with concrete patch.
