Japanese term or phrase: メタメタに
今のはカンタンな害虫駆除のお仕事です!
放射能で大きくなった虫をメタメタに!

Does this extend the meaning of 駆除 above and mean something like "exterminate"?

complete destruction of something
Explanation:
"メタメタになる" means "become meta meta". And "become meta meta" means complete destruction of something. So I think the asker's opinion "exterminate" is quite aright.
