When law enforcement is forced to fire tear gas into a home or business, property owners are responsible for the tear gas cleanup. Without the proper removal, tear gas can continue to cause symptoms of respiratory distress as well as eye, nose, mouth and throat irritation.

CN, CS, and OC are the different types of tear gas used to flush out a suspect. The chemical composition of tear gas makes it impossible for anyone to withstand its effects. Tear gas is shot by canister which itself is shaped like a small torpedo. When the canister hits inside the structure it ruptures, releasing a fine oily mist that penetrates all areas of a room.

Usually several canisters are fired making it virtually impossible for a suspect to hide. Unfortunately, the entire house is uninhabitable after such an event. Tear gas usually leaves pink or other color paint on walls and other surfaces where the canisters have ruptured.
