Reminds me of the little sign over the kitchen sink in Nags Head NC that we rent every summer on the beach...
For both kids and adults...
I tell young people all the time, learn a trade well, take advantage of living at home, start your own business...
I'd pull them the day they show up...
If they show up again I'd pull them and give a somewhat polite phone call.
If that doesn't wok you have a few more options...
Birthday banners, engagement banners, graduation banners...
