What Meridian Property Owners Ask About Fentanyl Cleanup
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.
What should I do if someone may have been exposed?
Call 911 if the person cannot be woken, is breathing slowly or is very drowsy. For other questions, call Poison Control. Get away from the area and wash skin with soap and water. Tell responders what you found and where, so they can act safely.
Can residue be on clothing or belongings?
It can. Clothing, bedding, bags and furniture in an affected space may carry powder. Do not shake them out. A team can advise on what to bag, clean or discard.
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 is the waste handled?
Contaminated materials are sealed in labeled containers and hauled away. Rules vary by location, and some waste may need special handling. Ask the team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and ask for records at the end of the job.
How long does fentanyl residue stay on surfaces?
Residue can stay until it is cleaned, and no one can tell by looking. That is why a closed area should be left alone until a cleanup team has cleaned it. You can ask the team to explain the methods it uses and how it checks the work.
