Tear Gas cleanup and removal is a daunting task. Crime Scene Steri-Clean, LLC has developed techniques and procedures that allow the tear gas clean up to go quickly and effectively. With our tear gas neutralizer, used exclusively by us, we can break down the tear gas which is imperitive for the cleanup process. Some companies utilize heat which is an expensive, outdated, and completely unnecssary step. The heat itself can cause damage if not applied properly. Tear gas is complicated to remove as it is developed to disperse and stick to surfaces. After the initial dispersion, the tear gas settles on all horizontal surfaces. The oily residue must be removed from all areas of the home including walls, countertops, floors, and contents. If any area is left untreated, it will continue to offgas, causing irritation in the eyes, nose and respiratory tract.  

When law enforcement is forced to fire tear gas into a residence, it is a last resort. Unfortunately, for the homeowner it is a huge problem. CN, CS, and OC are the different types of tear gas used to flush out a suspect when barricaded. The chemical composition of tear gas makes it impossible for anyone to withstand its effects. The only drawback is, it never diminishes. Even after months go by, tear gas will continue to offgas and cause symptoms of respiratory distress as well as eye, nose and mouth irritation. Tear gas cleanup needs to be performed by a company trained in the proper techniques and solutions which neutralize the irritants.
