Tear Gas Cleanup Services
Tear gas, also referred to as OC spray, or oleoresin capsicum, stands as a chemical compound predominantly utilized for maintaining crowd order by law enforcement and as a personal safety measure for civilians. Upon usage, it causes significant discomfort in the eyes and respiratory system, proving to be an effective method for dispersing crowds.
However, the subsequent cleanup process can be complex, necessitating professional assistance to ensure the safety of the area for re-entry. This includes various spaces like homes, businesses, public transportation, personal vehicles, emergency vehicles, and outdoor locations.
T.A.C.T. AZ’s team of specialists focuses on the cleanup of hazardous materials, encompassing spaces contaminated by pepper spray deployment, methamphetamine residue, and fentanyl residue. Our methodology follows specific guidelines outlined by reputable organizations such as the EPA, IICRC, ABRA, and ISSA, ensuring thorough cleanup of drug residues from substances like fentanyl, methamphetamine, and other hazardous materials.
Here are the key steps involved in our process:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Our cleanup professionals are equipped with suitable PPE, including full-face respirators, chemical-resistant gloves, and protective suits, providing protection against exposure to pepper spray and drug residues.
Ventilation: Prior to commencing cleanup, we guarantee sufficient ventilation in the area. This involves opening windows and doors, utilizing fans, or employing air scrubbers to facilitate air circulation and disperse lingering pepper spray or other drug residues.
Removal of Contaminated Items: Items affected by pepper spray and other drug residues, such as furniture, carpets, and personal belongings, may require removal and proper disposal, depending on the level of contamination.
Surface Cleaning: T.A.C.T. AZ utilizes specialized chemical solutions and neutralizing agents to break down and eliminate pepper spray and drug residues from walls, floors, and other surfaces. This may involve multiple rounds of cleaning and rinsing.
HEPA Vacuuming: High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuums are employed to eliminate any remaining pepper spray, methamphetamine, or fentanyl particles from surfaces and the surrounding air.
Decontamination: All tools and equipment used during the cleanup process undergo thorough decontamination to prevent further dissemination of pepper spray or drug residue.
Air Testing: Following the completion of the cleanup, our technicians conduct air quality assessments to confirm the successful neutralization of pepper spray and drug residue, ensuring the area's safety for reoccupation.

Answers to Common Chemical Remediation Questions
How quickly can T.A.C.T. AZ begin cleaning a property after a tactical operation?
Our emergency response team mobilizes immediately once police investigators and tactical teams officially finish processing the scene and release the structure back to you.
Does regular household cleaning remove CS and CN gas residues?
No. Household detergents and water fail to break down the microscopic oily powders, which only aerosolizes the chemical irritants and spreads them throughout unaffected rooms.
Can you remediate tear gas from HVAC ductwork?
Yes. We deploy industrial HEPA air scrubbers equipped with activated carbon filters and scrub the ductwork to prevent chemical residues from recirculating through your building.
Will homeowners or commercial property insurance cover tear gas remediation?
Most standard commercial and residential insurance policies include coverage for structural damage and chemical biohazard remediation, and our team bills your carrier directly.

What Do People Say About Us?
Outstanding
Outstanding company. I never thought I would be in need of their services, but recently I found myself in a dire situation with a loved ones’ home and they were able to send a team out within a couple days. Cassie, Miguel and Xander were amazing. Cassie helped me get the kitchen looking brand new, and both Miguel and Xander were able to get the Master bath and bedroom under control. I am so glad this company exists because I had no idea where to start or what to do.

Godsend
What a godsend! After failing health at 72, I could no longer keep up with housework which became detrimental to my health. Social Services connected me with T.A.C.T 48. David’s Angels (Bailey, Cheryl & Xander) changed my life in 2 days. They were so compassionate & hard working! I didn’t know where to even begin before this & now it’s become so much more manageable & healthy. Highly recommended!
