PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for simply and inexpensively testing termite repellency performance of a wood or insulating material to be used in a building in a stringent condition corresponding to an actual status of use. SOLUTION: The apparatus 1 for testing termite repellency performance includes a space 6 formed for confining termites, setting a test piece 2, 2 composed of a wood or an insulating material face to the space 6, and a bait 20 located at a position where the termite confined in the space 6 can arrive by advancing while giving vermin damage in the inside of the test piece 2, 2. The termites confined in the space 6 are forced to select advance by giving vermin damage in the test piece 2, 2 or to return without giving vermin damage in the test pieces 2, 2, and the termite repellency performance of a wood or insulating material to be used in a stringent condition corresponding to an actual status of use can be understood by watching the behavior of the termites in the time.
