Wood eating termites are major threats to crops, plantations and household properties across the African continent. The harmful effects of chemical-based termicides have resulted in the agitation for a safe, affordable and environmentally- friendly insecticides. The aim of this study was to investigate the repellent and residual efficacy of wood ash, cow dung, urine, and bird droppings in the management of termites. The synthetic insecticide, (0.1% Chlorpyrifos) and water were included in the study as controls while the repellent action of the treatments was based on an area of preference test. All the treatments exhibited significant repellent activity against termites in time- dependent manner under laboratory conditions; with wood ash demonstrating the highest repellency efficacy, and significantly comparable with the synthetic insecticide. The study clearly shows that the test treatments are effective and could serve as potential alternative to termite control.
