Drug Paraphernalia and Residue Questions From Somerton and Philadelphia County
Do I need to be there during the work?
In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask the team how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call. Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle.
What if someone is stuck by a needle?
Wash the area with soap and water and get medical care right away. Call 911 in an emergency. Poison Control can answer exposure questions. Tell the doctor what happened and where the needle was found, if you know.
What if children or pets live in the home?
Keep them out of affected rooms until a cleanup team has finished. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. If a child or pet touches or swallows something, call Poison Control or a veterinarian.
Is this the same as meth lab cleanup?
No. Drug paraphernalia cleanup removes used items and cleans surfaces. A site where drugs were made is a different job with its own testing and clearance steps. If you think drugs were made in the home, say so when you call.
How do you clean up drug residue?
Crews wear protective gear, remove sharps and loose items, and then clean hard surfaces with EPA-registered disinfectants. Porous materials such as carpet, padding or upholstery that took in residue may be removed. The team can explain what applies to your space.
Is the home safe to live in afterward?
A careful cleanup removes the items and cleans the surfaces it covers. Testing is a separate step, and rules vary by place. Ask the team what it did and did not check, and ask the local health department what applies where you live.
