Filling a few, I thought, small cracks on my porch jumped to the top of the to do list when I watched a chipmunk enter one of them yesterday.
He went in the crack in front of the step, the one I have a real closeup on. I don't know how far back that hole goes.
I'm thinking of just mixing up some concrete and then pushing it back as far as I can, maybe take gallon bag with a hole in the corner and push the product out as best I can. I'm guessing I probably need something else though, not regular concrete from an 80 pound bag? Possibly Polymeric sand or type O mortar without cement?
Suggestions welcome. I'm not wanting to rebuilt the steps or anything, just plug the holes. Thanks!

This is a standard case of brickwork needing to be tuck-pointed. You can find several sources on how to do it, but this one is nice:This Old House
