Should i Evict late paying tenants that won't help with roaches?

I bought a four unit property near Oh in June 2023 and inherited 4 tenants.  One tenant in particular has been late with rent every month since we have bought the property. They always have a story on why its late, and always promises to deliver the rent a certain date then tells me they needs a few more days.  They are typically 2-3 weeks late each month.  They are $300 below market rent, i just raised there rent $100 starting January 1st, but he has yet to make a payment including the increase.  Also, they have roaches and will not take the proper steps to help with getting rid of them.  We have had a vacant unit next door since the end of November because we don't want to move a new tenant in until the roaches are gone.  I even offered to rent them a POD to place out back to move all of there stuff in temporarily until we could rid the place of roaches because there unit is packed with stuff but they would never respond and wont help declutter or clean.  Once again this month they are a week late on rent but this time I went ahead and issued a 3 day notice to vacate and will have my attorney start the eviction process Monday.  I just want some opinions on if anyone would handle this a different way?   Thanks in advance for any input.
