3. Decontaminate surfaces

Fentanyl Cleanup Questions From West Columbia and Brazoria County

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.

Is this medical or legal advice?

No. This page explains how fentanyl decontamination works. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for questions about what must be reported, ask an attorney or the local health department.

Does the Texas victim compensation program cover fentanyl cleanup?

Cleanup after drug activity is generally not part of the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program, which pays up to $2,250 for crime scene cleanup after certain crimes. Ask the Attorney General's office at (800) 983-9933 whether a specific case qualifies.

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.

Will cleanup remove the smell?

Fentanyl itself usually has little smell, but drug use can leave other odors in fabric and walls. Once contaminated materials are out, a team can treat odor. Ask what methods the team uses and whether that is part of the plan.

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.
