Apparatus for repelling ground termites

An apparatus for repelling ground termites from an area surrounding a structure. The apparatus is connected to a power source and includes first second sets of electrodes positioned in a ground area on opposing sides of the structure. A first lead line is connected between the first set of electrodes and the power source for supplying an electrical current to the first set of electrodes and a second lead line is connected between the second set of electrodes and the power source for supplying an electrical current to the second set of electrodes. The electrical current supplied to the first and second sets of electrodes is delivered to the ground in which the first and second sets of electrodes is positioned and flows through the ground between the first and second sets of electrodes forming a barrier region within which any termites will be electrocuted. The first and second sets of electrodes preferably include at least four electrodes. Each of the plurality of electrodes in the first and second sets of electrodes are in the form of one of spikes and flat metal plates. The first and second sets of electrodes each extend for a distance longer than the side of the structure on which they are positioned and are positioned at a depth in the ground below a foundation of the structure. The first and second sets of electrodes are also preferably positioned at a distance from each other greater than the width of the structure.
