It is your early strategy so there is no need to be harsh so early. Remain polite, bring a brief fake smile on your face and open the door for them as you are chatting or busy. It helps in giving them a signal in no uncertain terms that it is not the right time to visit you. -

Ignore them politely
Once they enter your home, there is no need to be sweet to them. Therefore, give them least attention and pretend that you are busy. Offer them the most uncomfortable chair available in your home and start cleaning or dusting, making the unwanted guests stands up few times. Moreover, you can make a long distance phone call and talk for as long as you want. -

Attack them some annoying questions
If you are not good at pretending things, then simply make them uncomfortable with various irritating questions. If your unwanted guest is a female then ask her about her age, talk about femininity. For example, you can have a conversation like “Oh dear, you have lost weight?” “Why you always wear dull and old fashioned dresses,” and “Why you always make a weird hairstyle?” etc. On the other hand, you can irritate the male guest by asking questions regarding his salary, fat tummy and white hair etc. -

Argue and disagree with them
Get into the nerves of your unwanted guests by arguing with him or her and disagreeing with them all the time. Make sure not to agree with them at any cost, even if you think that they are right.

Scold their children

Get some help from your naughty kid
If you have a naughty kid, do not stop him or her from their mischievous acts and gently introduce them to your unwanted guests.

12
Share some horrible stories
When you think that it is getting late and your unwanted guests are in a mood of overnight stay at your place, make sure to get a bit impolite with them, but in a smart way.
