House-hacking tenant eviction in Louisville, KY

So I've been living with a few tenants for about half a year now and I've finally had it with two of them. They haven't been following our agreement and, of course, have been consistently not paying rent. I should also note that we didn't have a formal written lease agreement so they're just living here month to month because these are friends. But now I'm tired of being taken advantage of so the other day I gave them a 30 day eviction notice. I also kept a copy for myself. I doubt they'll be difficult about moving out but in the event that they are, am I covered now? In the unlikely event that they were to be difficult, what would be my recourse? Could I simply call the cops and have them escorted from the premises for trespassing? I know it can be a pain to evict difficult tenants but does the fact that this is my house that I still live in make it any easier? 

And yes, I know I've made a plethora of stupid mistakes and this is all my fault. I have little doubt that I've induced a number of facepalms from just about everyone reading this. I've definitely learned some good lessons the hard way.
