Common Questions About Fentanyl Exposure and Cleaning in Cattaraugus
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.
Can I clean fentanyl residue myself?
It is not recommended. Sweeping, wiping and vacuuming can lift fine powder into the air. Leave the area, keep people and pets out, and call 911 in an emergency or Poison Control with questions. Then ask a cleanup team about decontamination.
What is fentanyl decontamination?
It is the careful removal and cleaning of fentanyl powder or residue from a home, vehicle or workplace. Cleanup crews wear protective gear, control the air, collect residue without raising dust, clean surfaces and seal waste. A record of the work is usually available at the end of the job.
Does a cleanup team test for fentanyl?
Some teams offer sampling and some do not. Rules for testing and clearance vary by place. Ask the team what it checks, and ask the local health department what applies where you live.
What if I find powder at work or in a public place?
Do not touch it, and keep others away. Tell a supervisor or the property manager and call 911 if anyone is ill. A cleanup team can clean the area afterward. Employers should also follow their own safety procedures.
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.
