Besides the methods in the picture (if you can’t see the picture, those methods are clapping, ringing bells, and leaving woodchimes in your yard and by doorways), I’ve also gotten good results with singing/chanting, playing musical instruments (my trumpet, especially), and even just playing a cleansing playlist on my Spotify.
