Randall joins list of women leaders from Anticimex companies recognized for excellence by the NPMA
BRUNSWICK – Modern Pest Services proudly announces that Ashleigh Randall, fleet and special projects coordinator at Modern Pest Services in Maine, received the National Pest Management Association’s 2026 Impact Award and was recognized during the NPMA Women’s Forum in North Carolina in May.
Women are increasingly leading operations and shaping work across the pest control industry, accounting for 8.8% of the workforce as of 2025, up from 5.1% two years earlier according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting. The NPMA Impact Award celebrates outstanding women who demonstrate leadership, professionalism, and a commitment to excellence in the pest management industry.
Randall joined Modern Pest Services six years ago and has grown steadily in her role, consistently demonstrating a strong commitment to innovation, organization and teamwork. David Lock, president of Modern Pest Services, who nominated Randall, said, “Ashleigh’s drive and organizational skills have been instrumental in revamping Modern’s fleet management and supporting other Anticimex platforms. Beyond her technical contributions, she is a highly valued teammate known for her positive attitude and deep-rooted commitment to her local community.”
Randall said she’s proud to work in the pest control industry and is especially “grateful to be part of a company that not only values the work we do but also recognizes and invests in the individuals behind it,” she said.
Modern Pest Services began back in 1945 as a Massachusetts family business. Over the course of eight decades, the company expanded across New England, eventually joining Anticimex in 2017. Randall is one of 16 women to receive the NPMA Impact Award across the Anticimex family of companies.
