I like the Tony Soprano "Get Rid Of"...
Blondie,
Husband had previously called the KH & requested an elder, then told said elder to take us off thier little maps, etc. They don't listen. and, apparently, they can't read either. That was what made him so mad. An entire SUV full of adults claimed they did not SEE any signs!
I live outside any territory that my family was ever in, so on those rare instances when I've been visited, the JW's don't know or recognize me. After letting them do their introductory spiel, what has always worked for me is to say, "I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness and my family still practices. I know all about the teachings and I am REALLY not interested. But thank you and have a nice day," and I close the door as I deliver the last sentence. They probably figure that I'm some DF'ed pagan who wants to drink their blood and sacrifice them to Satan because it works every single time.

Gypsy,
You have several choices:
1. He can answer the door naked
2. You can answer the door naked
3. He can send an official letter, registered mail, telling them not to call or legal action will be taken.
4. Or he can go the Sunday meeting in time for the WT study and raise his hand on the first question and say:
I am visiting this congregation to find out how I can get your people to stop coming to my house. I called and asked the presiding overseer but some how the message has not gotten to the congregation. Then suggest they copy down your address for future reference. Tell him to be sure to hang onto the mike or it will be pulled away. I'm sure an elder will be by his side to be sure no one calls.

I'm really loving this way to get rid of em'
You could study, get baptized, paw at the cute sisters and get disfellowshipped.
You could say you are interested, ask them to wait while you dress and don't come back to the door, ever.
You could try blowing smoke, literally.
You could say you have some interesting literature from 1917 for them to read, and bring out The Finished Mystery book
You could demand that they put your name and house on their do-not-call list and demand to see that written down on the territory card before they leave your porch.
Alot of people have come to me at work and stated that JW's keep pestering them and wont take no for an answer. I simply told them the best thing they can do is tell the JW's that they are Apostate and wished to be removed from the territory's listing. This has to be a surefire way to avoid them, because the word will get around in the congregations that they are apostate. Witnesses do like to gossip you know.
So thats my solution, tell them you are Apostate. I personally welcome the JW's to my door and cant wait until they call on me, but after 3 1/2 years living in my apartment I have yet to have a JW at my door, I can only hope and pray-LOL

Tell them your favorite TV program is Dateline and you've just read a book by Ray Franz. I guarantee you'll never see them again.
Strangely enough, in almost 13 years I have yet to have them call on me. And they do NOT know an apostate lives here. I almost feel left out!
However, I will just tell them I'm an apostate witch! That orta do it.
