MATTHEWS, NC, UNITED STATES, May 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Anticimex Carolinas Family of Brands proudly announces Mary Elizabeth Dowless-Fairfax as a recipient of the 2026 NPMA Impact Award for Women in Pest Management. The award recognizes outstanding women across the pest management industry for their leadership, dedication, and impact in a variety of professional roles.
Dowless-Fairfax joined the Anticimex Carolinas Family of Brands two years ago through a merger, bringing with her a lifelong connection to the pest management industry.
