I had a roommate in the Marines and he had some (some?) hygiene issues. It got to the point where we didn't speak and eventually I packed his shit and put it outside the door. When he came home, he asked me what had happened and I merely informed him that I had evicted him...
He said "hmmm...", and calmly walked away. No muss, no fuss.
