The bloodsucking role is with the female mosquitos. But to reproduce, they need a male... at this point, they supply a gene defective adult male mosquito, in great numbers. If you stop with the supply, the population will restore. But while you are supplying, the population drops a lot.

I prefer this method than the smoke one, which is smelly, uneffective and fuck our swimming pool.

+ - Things You May Not Have Known 3D Printers Can Make->

At Intellectual Ventures Laboratory in Bellevue, Wash., researchers are creating ink cartridges filled with freeze dried, pulverized food that could someday be used in third world nations where, by adding water, it could be printed and cooked by a laser at the extruder's nozzle. And, then there's the "Chemputer", a 3D printer that can produce pharmaceuticals, meaning ultimately, you may someday be able to print your own medicine."

If you get results that fly in the face of decades of peer-reviewed research, your first instinct should not be to believe you've upended physics as we know it. Your first instinct should be, "Oh shit, what did I fuck up?"

My money is on the "results" being wrong.

Increase the "Oh shit, what did I fuck up?" if your "results" are multiple of 2 or 10:

"What they found significantly departed from existing theory–specifically, the speed of the Sun’s plasma motions were approximately 100 times slower than scientists had previously projected."

If you consider MBTI, which IMHO is a good tool for team building, most inventive types (consider ENTP for example) are very good at startup phase but lack the tools to keep everything running under schedule, and then someone hires beancouting types. The problem arise when desires surpasses means, and working place becomes politicized. Coincidentally, the inventive types which hate politics loose power and then mediocrity takes place, and to invent you must be part of a special group or have MBA and etc.
