Tear gas is a group of irritant agents, usually fine solids, such as CS, CN and CR. Pepper spray, or OC, is made from chili pepper extract in an oil base. They behave differently, so cleanup methods differ.
Tear gas and pepper spray are not ordinary germs or stains. Vinegar and bleach do not neutralize them, and mixing products can create dangerous fumes. Use fresh air and let a crew handle it.
Ask what training the crew has, how it disposes of waste, how it documents the work and what protective gear it uses. A good company explains the plan before work starts.
Ask the agency what records it can give you. A police report number is often useful for insurance. Cleanup can start once the agency says the property can be entered.
Leave the area, keep people and pets out and open outside doors or windows only where it is safe. Do not run fans or the air system. Then call a cleanup team, which matches the method to the agent.
Sometimes. Some homeowners and business policies may cover cleanup after vandalism, a break-in or a covered event, and others exclude certain causes. Call your insurer before work starts and ask plainly what applies.
Private help from the first call to the final inspection.
