Update 29 October 2015: Fantastic news comes as Facebook has finally vowed to take action to stop annoying Candy Crush requests on its social network. Mark Zuckerberg told a Delhi audience yesterday: "There are some tools that are kind of outdated that allow people to send invitations to people who've never used a game, who have gotten invitations in the past but don't play games on Facebook. We hadn't prioritized shutting that down, we just had other priorities. But if this is the top thing that people care about, we'll prioritize that and do it."

Block Candy Crush Saga: Block Facebook app requests

Even if you've never played games on Facebook you can still find yourself irritated by constant requests from your friends that you join in. Half the time they may not even be aware that the app is sending that request on their behalf. Like PC Advisor on Facebook.
One of the biggest causes of irritation right now is still Candy Crush Saga, but no doubt you also get peppered with app requests from Farmville, Farm Heroes Saga, Pet Rescue Saga, Criminal Case, Dragon Saga, Texas Holdem Poker, Mafia Wars and more. Bitstrips is another guilty app

There are two ways to deal with these frustrating Facebook app requests. Either you can block the app, or if you notice most of your app requests are coming from a particular person you can block that person from sending you Facebook app requests, including future irritating apps that they have yet to play.

How to block an app on Facebook

If you have absolutely no interest in using a certain Facebook app, the simplest solution is simply to block the app. (Note that merely removing the app from your account won't prevent future requests to play the game or send extra lives and so on.)
To block an app on Facebook you must open a web browser and log into your Facebook account. Click the downward arrow at the top right of the screen, then choose Settings.
