Half Moon Bay Tear Gas Cleanup: Common Questions Answered
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.
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.
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.
Is the space safe for pets and children afterward?
Only after it is cleaned and checked. Pets and young children are closer to floors, so they can be affected more. Keep them out until the crew says the work is complete.
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.
Why does the air system matter?
If the heating or cooling system ran, it may have pulled irritant particles into vents and ducts and moved them to other rooms. Crews isolate and clean the system so residue does not spread again.
