Drug Paraphernalia Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in North Plains, OR
What should I do if I find an unknown powder?
Do not touch, sweep or smell it, and do not try to clean it up first. Keep children and pets away. If anyone touched or swallowed it, call Poison Control, or 911 in an emergency. Then call a cleanup team to remove it safely.
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.
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.
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.
Does the cleanup include odor removal?
It can. Once soiled items are removed, a team can treat lingering odor in the air and on surfaces. Ask what methods the team uses and whether odor treatment is part of the plan or a separate step.
