Fentanyl Residue Questions Answered for Hudson, NY

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.

Does insurance cover fentanyl cleanup?

It depends on the policy. Some policies cover certain contamination cleanup, and others exclude drug-related damage. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts. Take photos from a safe spot and keep every receipt.

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.

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.
