However, they are told that one or two survivors must still be alive, as occasionally a villager dies in a culling way.

Episode Quotes
Boy: (about the wraith) My uncle says it'll come and take me if I don't do my chores.
Rodney: He said that, huh? Well then, if we get rid of it, you've got nothing to worry about. You'll never have to do chores again.
Carson: Exactly! Then at some point, they lose the ability to sustain themselves with that food.
Col. Sheppard: So it's a teenage thing? Pimples, rebellion, life-sucking?
Col. Sheppard: All right, let's go. McKay, stay here and help Beckett.
Rodney: Ah, medical research? Not really my thing.
Col. Sheppard: And hunting Wraith?
Rodney: Never could get into biology. It's just too much information about the human body. One time I took it as an undergrad. I diagnosed myself with half a dozen separate medical conditions, before I had to drop the class.
Carson: Really.
Rodney: Yeah. Believe it or not, back then, I was a bit of a hypochondriac.
