I typically don't, but have on a couple of occasions.

What I have read says that a single person should not attempt to clear, that only two or more trained persons should.

Plus one
Our senior instructor is our county's senior instructor and swat instructor. He will teach everything to private citizens EXCEPT clearing. Said they do that in teams. IF home and only me and bump in the night, will huddle in corner and call LE...fatal funnel. If kids home, will seek out evil. If coming home and notice, call LE. They will come in a pack, wear body armor, better trained, have many guns and are much braver. I'm still waiting for the bg who wears a bg sign, stands still...in front of a block wall and says, "ok, shoot me". That hasn't happened yet.
Oh, I too will use the ammonia dump.
