Our Mission

The Soil Inhabiting Pest Section (SIPS) is an applied research facility located in Gulfport, Mississippi.  The principal mission of this facility is to conduct applied research on methods of combating the imported fire ant (IFA) with the development of population suppression and quarantine technology as the ultimate objective.  We are the sole source for developing new quarantine technologies.  Technology and scientific information developed by SIPS is utilized by PPQ, State Plant Regulatory Officials (SPROs), the nursery industry, chemical industry, farmers, ranchers, homeowners, and other stakeholders.
