They are pretty rare but it happens.

Got a solar visit yesterday.

Yes ……mostly solar sellers and bug exterminators

Yes. And 99% of them are solar-related.

I remember years ago getting those magazine subscription people at my house. I said go away and shut my door.

Only con men selling solar…. and very infrequently.

a couple times a month, we get the solar peddlers. I used to be meh when if I say “Not interested” they ask why. Now, after many years of this, I just stopped myself from responding with some fairly salty language. I just close the door, before the profanity escapes.

.
On occasion… typically it’s a home improvement company allegedly doing work in the neighborhood and doing “cold knocks” to see if we also need work.

It’s a lie.

But I already have my shpeel scripted to get rid of them.

Small bore target, tight grouping above the doorbell . . . . . . .
just kidding

A few. As others have said, mostly Solar and Pest control. My No Soliciting sign isn’t working. I’m still getting pests.

Yes, some company or companies doing home repairs every once in a while, but mostly solicitors trying to sell solar. I get quite a few phone calls from solar solicitors, too. I have two “NO SOLICITING” signs at my front door, which they just ignore. These solicitors never seem to have the required City of Concord issued permits, either.

Ever since I installed the trap door, rotating knives, and drainage system….no.

After the second restraining order, I don’t even answer the door anymore.
On the advice of counsel.

I haven’t seen the Fuller Brush Man in quite awhile.

Rarely but yes and I have a no soliciting sign and they still come up and omg I hate it so much.

Thanks to ring camera now i just laugh while watching them stand there till they leave. All I wish is to be alone; Stay away, don’t you invade my home. Best off if you hang outside, Don’t come in – I’ll only run and hide. WHO CAN IT BE NOW!?

I’ve had it with the solar guys. HAD IT!

Yes, even with my big “No Solicitors” sign right above the doorbell.
