Author: Andrea and Mike Dickinson

We’re Andrea and Mike Dickinson, a husband-and-wife team who have spent years figuring out how to get unwanted things out of the house — although we came to that knowledge in very different ways. Andrea learned stain removal the way most people actually do: by spilling things, washing things incorrectly, trying advice that sounded promising, and occasionally making a small stain much worse. Years of looking after a home turned that trial and error into a practical knowledge of fabrics, carpets, upholstery, laundry, odors, and everyday cleaning problems. Mike’s experience is much more professional. Pest removal is his line of work, so he approaches ants, cockroaches, rodents, wasps, bed bugs, and other unwanted visitors by first figuring out why they are there. LearnHowToGetRid.com brings those two perspectives together. Andrea writes as someone who has tested household fixes in an actual home. Mike writes as someone accustomed to diagnosing a problem before trying to eliminate it. We do not believe every problem needs a complicated solution. We do believe you should know what you are dealing with before reaching for the nearest bottle, trap, spray, or internet remedy.
