eradicators
Those who abolish
Eradicators are people or things that completely eliminate something.
The word typically appears in contexts of pest control, disease prevention, or ideology: termite eradicators, the eradicators of smallpox.
It can sound grandiose when applied to abstract problems: self-appointed eradicators of misinformation.
