ABSTRACT:
A device for inserting a cork plug into a hole to a pre-determined depth, the hole having a diameter d and having been made in the concrete foundation of a building for termite control purposes, the device including in one embodiment a rod for partial insertion into the hole having a bottom end and a cross-sectional diameter less than d. A pin is mounted on the bottom end of the rod so that a cork plug may be mounted thereto. Depth-setting means having a length greater than d is mounted to said rod for varying the extent to which the rod may be inserted into the hole. In one variation of this embodiment, the rod has a plurality of transverse holes uniformly spaced along its longitudinal axis and the depth-setting means includes a depth-setting pin for removable insertion into one of the transverse holes and a depth-setting cap removably mounted to the depth-setting pin for use in securing the depth-setting pin in the selected transverse hole. In another variation of the same embodiment, the rod has an externally threaded region and the depth-setting means includes a winged nut for threaded engagement on said externally threaded region.
