Tear Gas and Pepper Spray Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in St. Augustine, FL

What if my eyes or skin burn?

Follow first aid guidance and get medical help if symptoms continue. If anyone has trouble breathing, call 911. This page covers property cleanup, not treatment.

Will the neighbors know?

Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews do not discuss the job with others.

How long does tear gas residue last in a home?

It depends on the agent, the room and the surfaces. Some residue fades in a few days, while some types cling to fabrics and carpet much longer. If burning returns when you go back in, the residue is still there.

What if police used the tear gas?

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.

How much does tear gas cleanup cost?

The cost depends on the size of the area, the type of agent, how much soft furniture and carpet was reached and whether the air system ran. The cleanup team sets its price after seeing the space.

Should I hose it down?

No. Water can spread residue or make irritation worse, and runoff can carry it into floors, walls and vents. Leave the area and keep others out, then call a cleanup team.
