When I got termite traps fiteen years ago, they came with a cheap
auger - a t-shaped screw to dig holes for the traps.
I understand they are called earth augers and now seem to cost $50.
No way, the traps and auger tigether cost $20. Nothing shows up
in walmart or google shopping cheaper. Any suggestions?

It's meant to be used with a drill motor but if you don't have one a pipe
wrench or vice grips should do.
