Tear Gas and Pepper Spray Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Lakewood, CA

What should I do first after tear gas is released?

Get to fresh air, take others and pets with you, and keep everyone out of the space. Do not hose it down or mix cleaning products. If anyone has trouble breathing, call 911 or Poison Control.

What is the difference between tear gas and pepper spray?

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.

Will insurance pay for tear gas cleanup?

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.

How to remove tear gas from surfaces?

Do not hose it down or wipe it around. Particles and oil spread when disturbed. A professional crew uses protective gear, lifts residue from the surface and disposes of it as hazardous waste.

Why do vinegar and bleach not work?

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.

How do I get rid of tear gas in a house?

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.
