We have a “No Soliciting” sign outside our house. Exasperatingly often, door-to-door solicitors either don’t see it (hard to believe) or see it and ignore it.

Video footage from May 8 shows the snake slithering up and down the wall of Anna's home in Cypress, a suburb of Houston, and onto a grill basket as a "No Soliciting" sign hangs in the background.

As for the ‘no solicitors’ signs often posted at the front door, Topeka’s city code doesn’t actually prohibit solicitors from knocking. However, state law does offer a remedy.
