Which statement is true regarding non-repellent termiticides?

The statement that non-repellent termiticides can result in complete elimination of a colony is accurate. Non-repellent termiticides work by being undetectable to termites, meaning that when they come into contact with these chemicals, they don't avoid them, as they would with repellent termiticides. Instead, they unknowingly ingest or come into contact with the active ingredients, which can lead to the colony’s demise. The effectiveness of these termiticides lies in their ability to spread through the colony as termites interact with each other, leading to a higher likelihood of exposure and eventual elimination.

In contrast to complete removal, other statements suggest potential limitations such as the ability of non-repellent termiticides to be detected by termites, effectiveness against only certain species, or rapid breakdown in the environment. These aspects highlight the importance of understanding how non-repellent termiticides function and their overall contribution to effective termite management strategies, emphasizing their role in achieving complete colony eradication when applied correctly.
