We were plagued by Jehovah’s Witnesses freakin’ early every Saturday morning. A minivan would park on our street and they’d fan out and attack every doorbell.

It wasn’t until my daughter finally answered the door in disgust and told them they were welcome to come back that night as we’d be dancing nekkid around the bonfire for the full moon.

They bolted and we were never bothered by them again.

Note: This likely won’t work against political solicitors, especially if you send your daughter to carry it out.
