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.
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.
No. Baking soda is not a reliable fix, and it may only move residue around. A cleanup crew uses products matched to the agent and removes contamination instead of masking it.
Rules for hazardous residue vary by state, county and city. Waste may need special handling and cannot always go in the regular trash. Ask the local health department or fire department what applies.
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.
Ask what training the crew has, how it disposes of waste, how it documents the work and what protective gear it uses. A good company explains the plan before work starts.
