Sorry to hear about your pest infestation.  I live in Salt Lake City, 
here in Utah which is the main source of such creatures, but alas, I 
have no suggestions on how to rid yourself of them.  I know they fear 
alcohol, so perhaps insisting they share a pint or two of ale with you 
might be sufficient deterrent.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints =

initial reaction when Jehova=92s Witnesses come to my house, I think we =
can
act with respect.  These young people are generally between 18-21 years =
old
and gave up 2 years of their lives at their own expense (or that of =
their
family) to try to share the joy the feel in Jesus Christ and invite =
others
to feel that joy.  They come from all over the world, there are actually
more members outside of the US than inside, but people from other =
countries
are often sent where their language skills are most needed.  You may not
agree with them and they may not always act socially or emotionally
mature=85.because they are not mature.  But I hope we can all agree that =
this
type of selfless service in young people is something the world could =
use
more of.  Generally speaking they will be happy to come back another =

you are busy, or if you genuinely can=92t spare a few minutes or =
aren=92t
curious just let them know that you would like them to leave.  I don=92t
believe heretical speeches, taking off clothes, etc. are warranted or
needed.

If you need help with something try asking for their help, you might be
surprised how willing they are to help you clean up your yard, or lift a
transmission into place.
