Attention all door-to-door sellers of charity lottery tickets, religious texts, and anyone else with the inhumanity to wake us before we get up from bed at two-thirty in the afternoon: you’re not wanted. And just to prove it, allow us to present our next purchase for Casa de GamerSquad: ThinkGeek’s "Back Off" LED Space Invaders Doormat.

A good number of these standoffish mats have been imported from France by the TG chaps, and are currently up for sale at $70 (£35 / €54) a pop. Each mat features an animated LED display of eight Space Invaders that light up in turn everytime someone comes near, thanks to a motion sensor built into the mat.

Cheaper than a deliberately starved pit bull, less hassle than a tripwire linked to an overhead bucket of molten wax, and probably a bit more legal than both of those, these come with the GamerSquad seal of approval. Now get off our damn land.
