Fentanyl Decontamination Frequently Asked Questions in Rio Vista, Fort Lauderdale, FL

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.

How much does fentanyl decontamination cost?

It depends on the size of the space, how far residue has spread, the materials involved and the gear needed. A cleanup team can give a real price after seeing or hearing about the site, and it should explain what is included before work starts.

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 do police and firefighters do about residue?

Responders deal with the emergency, collect evidence and make the scene safe. They do not usually clean the space afterward. Once the property is released, the owner or family books decontamination.
