2121356 9404034 PCTABS00030 Methods have been developed for protection of structures from termite infestation. In the preferred embodiment, termites are attracted into contact with a potentially lethal fungus, such as Metarhizium anisopliae or Beauveria bassiana, using an attractant, such as the fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum or its volatile products. In another embodiment, a fungus is used which is naturally repellent to the termites, such as M. anisopliae and serves to prevent termites from entering into an area bounded by the repellent fungus. The entomopathogenic fungus, alone or in combination with an attractant fungus, is provided either in the form of an infection chamber or formulated with a nutrient composition and administered directly to inhabited galleries or to the termite nest to initiate infection, transmission and colony mortality. Examples demonstrate control of termites using chambers containing M. anisopliae and B. bassiana.
