Turfs out unruly civets (6)
I believe the answer is:
evicts
'turfs out' is the definition.
(evicting is a kind of turfing out)
'unruly civets' is the wordplay.
'unruly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'civets' anagrammed gives 'EVICTS'.
(Other definitions for evicts that I've seen before include "Forces out of a property" , "Throws out" , "Puts out for non-payment of rent" , "Expels from a property" , "Put out for non-payment of rent" .)
