About 16% of housing in Rockbridge County is vacant, so owners living elsewhere can get tear gas cleanup started by phone through a key holder. Whatever the season in East Lexington, turn off the air system after an incident so it does not spread residue.

Questions About Tear Gas Removal in East Lexington, VA
Why do vinegar and bleach not work?
Tear gas and pepper spray are not ordinary germs or stains. Vinegar and bleach do not neutralize them, and mixing products can create dangerous fumes. Use fresh air and let a crew handle it.
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.
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.
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.
What rules apply to tear gas waste in Virginia?
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.
Do I need to be at the property?
Usually not. Many owners set up access by phone through a key holder or manager. Tell the team who has the keys and whether a business must stay open around the work.
