Most fentanyl cleanups follow drug use in a rental, a vacant or squatted property, a vehicle, or a home after an overdose. We find and remove powder, residue, foil, pipes, needles and soiled items, wash every surface that may have been touched, and leave a space that is safe to live or work in again.
Public health agencies note there is no credible evidence that people get sick just by entering a room where fentanyl was present, and skin absorbs the powder poorly. The real risk is handling visible powder or contaminated items without protection. That is the part we take off your hands.
Fentanyl-contaminated surfaces often look clean, so we treat every surface in the affected area as contaminated until it has been cleaned and decontaminated. Where a property was used to cut or package drugs, the lab cleanup is coordinated with the owner and, where required, county environmental health before work starts.

We identify where drugs were used, stored or handled.
Our crew wears nitrile gloves, eye protection and respirators.
Needles go into approved sharps containers. Pipes, foil and packaging are bagged for disposal.
We never dry sweep or use fans. Carpets and fabrics are cleaned with HEPA-filtered vacuums.
Hard surfaces are washed with detergent and water, changing the water often, then rinsed, as public health guidance recommends.
Porous items that cannot be cleaned, such as soiled mattresses or upholstery, are removed.
Waste goes to licensed disposal and you receive photos and a written summary.
Do not touch powder or residue with bare hands.
Do not vacuum with a household vacuum, sweep or turn on fans in the affected area.
If powder gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. Do not use hand sanitizer or bleach on skin.
If anyone shows signs of an overdose, call 911 right away.
Meth smoke leaves residue on walls and ceilings throughout a home, so meth contamination is tested and cleaned room by room. If you suspect meth, start with our meth testing.
With fentanyl, cleanup focuses on visible residue, the areas where drugs were used or stored, and anything that was handled. Many properties have both, and we plan the job around what we find.
The price depends on the size of the area, how much has to be removed and how many sharps are involved. You get a free assessment and a written scope and cost before work starts. Insurance coverage varies, so check your policy. We provide the photos and records your insurer, landlord or buyer may ask for.
We work across Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito counties, with typical arrival in two to three hours.
Any time, day or night.
