What Uptown Property Owners Ask About Fentanyl Cleanup
What do police and firefighters do about residue?
Responders deal with the emergency, collect evidence and make the scene safe. They do not usually clean the space afterward. Once the property is released, the owner or family books decontamination.
Can children and pets be near the area?
No. Keep them out until a cleanup team has finished. Children and pets are close to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. If one touches or swallows something unknown, call Poison Control or 911.
Why can't I just vacuum or sweep?
Fine powder can rise into the air when it is swept, wiped dry or vacuumed with an ordinary vacuum. Cleanup teams use wet methods and controlled equipment so particles stay down. Agencies such as the CDC advise against disturbing powder.
Do I need to be at the property?
Often not. In many cases the person who calls does not need to be on site. The team may need access, keys and a point of contact. Ask how that can be arranged, especially if you are out of town or the space is vacant.
How long does cleanup take?
A small room or vehicle can take a day or less, while a house or a space with a lot of soft material takes longer. Containment, cleaning and disposal each take time. A team can give a realistic idea once it hears the details.
Is fentanyl a hazardous material?
It is a controlled drug and a health hazard when exposed. How it is labeled depends on the legal setting, but for safety purposes it should be treated with care. Cleanup crews use protective gear and handle waste by the rules that apply.
