Nanobot Gobblers will take care of the Earth just fine by turning the 
entire planet into a grey goo.  There is a book by Sean Williams ??? and 
Shane Dix ??? about this.

And if somebody poisons Sol turning it into a red dwarf early then the 
Earth will be gobbled by Sol.  "Last Day on Mars (Chronicle of the Dark 
Star, 1)" by Kevin Emerson

"It is Earth year 2213—but, of course, there is no Earth anymore. Not 
since it was burned to a cinder by the sun, which has mysteriously begun 
the process of going supernova. The human race has fled to Mars, but 
this was only a temporary solution while we have prepared for a second 
trip: a one-hundred-fifty-year journey to a distant star, our best guess 
at where we might find a new home."
