Angel Banishing Sigil
The Angel Banishing Sigil must be drawn in blood. It temporarily banishes angels (except the one who drew it) from that location. However, in 5.18 Point of No Return, Castiel banishes four angels and himself with a sigil he carved on his chest. Apparently it banishes the angels in range to another location on Earth as after being banished in 7.21 Reading Is Fundamental, he calls from a dog track in Perth, Australia and wound up on a fishing boat after banishing himself and the other angels. It may also weaken the angels when they are banished, as Castiel notes that it takes banished angels some time to return after they are exposed to such a sigil, and Castiel lost most of his remaining powers after his fall from Heaven when he banished himself.
See Enochian for sigils that will prevent an angel entering a building.
