「追い出す」 drives a person out of a place or organization. For formal, punitive expulsion use 「追放」; for shooing off insects, birds or pests use 「追い払う」; for driving someone into hardship use 「追いやる」. Colloquial forceful variants 「叩き出す」「追ん出す」「ほっぽり出す」「押っ放り出す」 add roughness or force. Written terms like 「放逐」「駆逐」「一掃」「除籍」 suit formal prose: 「駆逐」 is stronger and broader, 「一掃」 targets abstract ills, 「除籍」 is removal from a register. 「追い立てる」 stresses constant pressing, 「追い散らす」 dispersal, and 「招き入れる」「迎え入れる」 are the opposites.
