Inability to read “No soliciting” signs is hardly restricted to folks from WV.

Putting one up in Cleveland OH didn’t make a dent in the door knocks. In fact, I think some people seek them out hoping for less competition.

I have a sign that says”No peddlers or witnesses.”If they can’t understand the sign,I let my Rottweiler explain it to them.

Back in the '60s I ran a typesetting shop and got tired of all the door-to-door salesmen (Remember Kirby vacuum cleaners?). I made up a sign that said
W A R N I N G
We shoot every third salesman
Two have already left
printed it on a yellow sheet of proof paper and posted it on the front door window.

We still got bothered but not as much. The real problem was that the neighbors saw only the large WARNING on yellow paper, thought we were under quarantine, and wouldn't come near us.
