Evicting tenants living above me!

I bought a duplex & moved into the bottom unit May 1st. I have had tenants living there since April 1st & I've had 3 major noise incidents happen in the last 30 days. All 3 incidents the tenants where yelling at each other & fighting (sounds like it might of got physical with the loud bangs I heard) for 10-15 each time. It was not a normal couple argument, it was the kind where you feel scared & unsafe. I live her with my wife & 2 daughters 3 & 7 months. Nobody needs to hear this especially the kids. My wife was in tears because it was so disturbing to listen to. After the second incident I gave them a warning letter stating that if they don't stop the excessive noise, swearing & yelling I will be calling the police & evicting them. They said it will never happen again & they where super quite for only 1 week. Today I came home & they where at it again yelling at each other & their window was open and all the neighbours where outside listening & asking each other if they should call the police. I called the police & they dealt with the situation. Now I have to follow through with the eviction & I'm very nervous because it's only my 2nd rental & 1st eviction. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or words of encouragement? Thanks!
