What Brockway Property Owners Ask About Fentanyl Cleanup
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.
Is it safe to reenter after cleanup?
A careful cleanup removes the residue it covers, and a final inspection checks the work. Rules for testing vary by place. Ask the team what was done and what was not checked, and ask the local health department what applies.
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 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.
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.
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.
