How old is she? If over 18 you know the answer.

A couple of years!!! She knows she's on to a good thing. Yes, just give them a deadline and tell them to move out.

You need to think long-term here. Can you sit them both down with a cuppa and have a gentle talk, along the lines of, "You know we love you but..." ?

I agree with Sand&Sea. Try a gentle approach. Very tricky as you risk pushing your son away. I feel for you though as I'm in a similar position - son's girlfriend living here and we're not keen on her.
