Jehovas witnesses, while annoying, are not solicitors.

Are there any local ordinances that ban it?

If so, make your sign more strongly worded and threaten legal action. Even if it isn't in the code, do that.

Put up a temporary barrier to the door during the day, and put a fake door bell on a porch post or similar.

Sound proof the home office

I was going to say move out of the hood, but if you have a pit bull you are right where you belong

Ignore them. You don't have to answer the door.

Answering my door is like answering my phone from an unknown number... It ain't happnin.

So councilman got back to me. It is indeed against the law and the cops can and will detain them. I think a custom sign saying “IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO SOLICIT AND WE WILL CALL THE COPS” might do the trick.

These clowns may not know what the word solicit means in this context. Might advise choosing a different word. Get that thesaurus out

After a particularly nasty run in with some Jehova’s witnesses, he put up an even bigger, firmer sign.

What did your husband do? Because even though they annoy people (and aren't solicitors), they are non confrontational. Literally just leave as soon as you ask them to.

Put a no soliciting sign near your front door.

Edit: Oops. Just realized you already tried that. I’ve seen some people try signs with emotional appeal, asking people not ring during the day while asleep because they’re “night shift” workers. May be worth a shot.
