How to stop solicitors

So my husband works from home and we have dogs. People knocking or ringing the door bell have been a problem for him in the past so we put up a small no soliciting sign.
After a particularly nasty run in with some Jehova’s witnesses, he put up an even bigger, firmer sign.
So today someone from a financial advising company came knocking.
Any ideas on what the heck we can do to convey we’re serious?

Just don’t answer the door?

If you figure it out, please share with the class... my neighborhood has become overrun with them.
One pair, selling windshields of all things, were particularly rude and aggressive- I wouldn't have been surprised to have found my windshield cracked or broken after I turned them down and sent them along their merry way.

Bigger dogs.
I had a Great Dane that lived almost 12 years. She sounded like thunder of the gods.
No one ever came to my door.

Put this out for Halloween a couple years ago. It's been a great deterrent ever since.

if you're on a call/meeting and the dogs are barking like crazy at door knocks, it probably gets old really quickly

This is the issue.
Halfway debating putting up a fence.

Your husband sounds like a total pussy.
And tell him I said hello and I miss him.

Get one of thosebaby sleeping signs from Amazon and then if they knock anyway open the door and act a complete donkey.

Chain up a Pit Bull on the front porch.

Oh trust me people who hang around and keep knocking are regretting it.

We do have a pit bull. Maybe a beware of dog sign? A door with a window where people can see him?

maybe an orange paper sign saying that you're quarantined for measles or something contagious

The last one I answered when I got loud dptb came to see what was up. It was fine,I shut door in the guys face. Wouldn't take no (and I am happy with my current pest control company) for an answer.

According to the women on Nextdoor, you should immediately call the sheriff bc they’re either casing your house or if nothing else they’re trespassing. The sheriff needs to know about this!

“Pit Bull Mom” sticker on your whip.

I like this idea. Maybe a door mat too.

"A pit bull lives here, if you knock you will meet him" would be a good custom door mat.
