What Happens During a Fentanyl Decontamination in La Jolla

1. Stay back and call

Keep people and pets out and do not touch the powder. If anyone is ill or cannot be woken, call 911 first.

2. Clean from the edges in

Crews work in a pattern that moves residue toward a collection point, instead of pushing it around.

3. Change materials often

Wipes, cloths and protective layers are swapped out so residue is not carried from room to room.

4. Seal and close out

Waste is sealed for transport, the area is checked and the owner receives guidance on next steps.

Fentanyl Decontamination Frequently Asked Questions in La Jolla, San Diego, CA

What should I do if someone may have been exposed?

Call 911 if the person cannot be woken, is breathing slowly or is very drowsy. For other questions, call Poison Control. Get away from the area and wash skin with soap and water. Tell responders what you found and where, so they can act safely.

How long does cleanup take?

A small room or vehicle can take a day or less, while a house or a space with a lot of soft material takes longer. Containment, cleaning and disposal each take time. A team can give a realistic idea once it hears the details.

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 about vehicles?

Vehicles are small, closed spaces, so residue can build up on seats, carpets and vents. Crews use the same careful methods as in a building, and soft materials may need to be removed. Ask whether the team cleans vehicles and how soft materials are treated.

Do I need to be at the property?

Often not. In many cases the person who calls does not need to be on site. The team may need access, keys and a point of contact. Ask how that can be arranged, especially if you are out of town or the space is vacant.

Can residue be on clothing or belongings?

It can. Clothing, bedding, bags and furniture in an affected space may carry powder. Do not shake them out. A team can advise on what to bag, clean or discard.
