Drug Paraphernalia and Residue Questions From Medical Lake and Spokane County
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.
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.
Can residue come through skin?
Some residues can harm people who touch them, and you cannot tell by looking which ones. That is why gloves are not a substitute for professional cleanup. If skin touches something unknown, wash with soap and water and call Poison Control.
How long does cleanup take?
A single room can be cleared quickly, while a house with hidden items, soiled carpet and odor takes longer. The time depends on the amount of material and access. A team can give a realistic idea after hearing the details.
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.
Can the cleanup be done without neighbors noticing?
Often, yes. Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle and work quietly. If privacy matters, ask about it when you call. The crew shares only what it needs to plan the work.
