Default Re: Door to Door solicitation in the Villages. A question.

Last summer I contacted The Villages watch about being solicited. Major lawn care co.'s and several individuals were ringing my doorbell, often. I called because a tree man reeking of alcohol and a little scary looking, startled my quiet afternoon. I could only give a description of the vehicle. No, I did not want him doing any tree work for me! I have a tree service. A No soliciting sign was immediately posted at the guarded gate and it was suggested to get a business card or identification such as a license plate or company name and report back and they would take appropriate measures. Funny though, no one has bothered me since! I do have a WELCOME sign outside, but its for friends, family, neighbors, invited guests and hired vendors. NOT SOLICITORS! Wonder who gets my business and VOTE?
