refurgitate

To get rid of an infestation. The opposite of "ingest" is "regurgitate", so the opposite of "infest" is "refurgitate".

We need to pick up some poison traps to refurgitate those ants in the kitchen.

Boojum

A nonsense word from Lewis Carroll's 1874 poem, "The Hunting of the Snark," where it appears in the last line.

For the Snark was a Boojum, you see.
