Dealing with visitors

I say i have stuff to do.. check my clock and if things are getting harder, i pick up my car keys and that's the most obvious sign that i need to leave, and all that without saying "you need to go"
I'll just straight up tell them I have errands to run or chores to do, although I will tell them nicely about it.
I don't think I've ever had to go past this first step. But if someone refused to leave after I told them, nicely, that I have to go and whatnot, then I'd kindly ask the police to escort them out of my house.

I'm a homebody & we rarely have visitors outside of my parents who are my best friends. But even with them, we all know each other well enough to say, Ok, time to go now.
When we have had visitors, like at our garage sales, who tend to overstay, we get up & do subtle things like re-organize. We may say something like Oh, thank you for the nice chat but we really need to get back to our sale.

I make it very clear its time to go.
I will talk about an appointment I have and that they should visit us again so that we have more time with them .
