Leading the Way in Professional Fentanyl Decontamination Services
-What We Do-
-
On-Site Testing For Dangerous Drugs
Fentanyl Cleanup utilizes cutting edge equipment including the MX908 Devices Mass Spectrometer. This device detects trace amounts of dangerous substances and will tell us if your property is contaminated and by what substances.
-
Site Decontamination
Dangerous drugs like fentanyl, carfentil and methamphetamine need to be neutralized and removed. We use a non-toxic, three-component decontamination solution that is the correct PH. Many household and commercial cleaners do not neutralize the drugs and leave behind dangerous residue.
-
Vehicle Testing and Decontamination
Fentanyl Cleanup can provide you with peace of mind that if your vehicle has been stolen and recovered that it is safe for you and your family.

In-Person Training
Free in-person Fentanyl and Dangerous Drugs training for your employees. We also offer services as Fentanyl experts for consulting and reference.
“Effective decontamination of fentanyl is especially important—and especially hazardous—because of the danger of accidental exposure. Overlooking even trace amounts may be deadly: a lethal dose for most people is no larger than five to seven individual grains of salt, at two to three milligrams."
— U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration
-Why Fentanyl-
Since 2019 deaths from Fentanyl poisoning has doubled and now exceeds 100,000 per year.
According to the CDC:
Over 200 people die every day from fentanyl poisonings.
77,845 people died from fentanyl poisonings in 2023. That is a 124% increase since 2019
Fentanyl is now the leading cause of poisoning deaths among children under the age of 5.
Illicit Fentanyl is primarily found as a powder or in counterfeit oxycodone, Xanax or Percocet pills. According to the DEA Fentanyl is increasingly being found in ALL “street” drugs including methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and even marijuana. As a result, many people don’t know they’re ingesting or being exposed to Fentanyl.
The threat posed by fentanyl and other dangerous drugs to the public is significant due to their lethal nature even in minimal amounts. Fentanyl, fatal in amounts as small as less than 3mg or approximately 10 grains of salt, highlights its extreme potency. The danger increases with carfentanil, proving deadly in amounts as small as 1mg. The inhalation of fentanyl powder presents the highest likelihood of adverse effects. Although incidental skin contact with fentanyl is considered less hazardous, the risk remains substantial, as deadly amounts can be ingested if a person inadvertently touches their nose, mouth, or eyes with contaminated hands or clothing.
According to the CDC:
Illegally made fentanyl (IMF) is available on the drug market in different forms, including liquid and powder.
Powdered fentanyl looks just like many other drugs. It is commonly mixed with drugs like heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine and made into pills that are made to resemble other prescription opioids. Fentanyl-laced drugs are extremely dangerous, and many people may be unaware that their drugs are laced with fentanyl.
In its liquid form, IMF can be found in nasal sprays, eye drops, and dropped onto paper or small candies.
Fentanyl is now so common in these street drug that contamination of any of these drugs should initially be treated as a fentanyl contamination.
How do you know if the contaminated area isn’t tested?
We use the cutting-edge technology of 908Devices Mass Spectrometer. The 908Device is portable and accurate to TRACE amounts. This allows us to safely and discreetly conduct on-site testing providing results in less than 5 minutes.
A common way that Fentanyl and methamphetamine is used is by smoking. We know, based on our testing, that in locations where these drugs are smoked a residue of the drugs are left behind. Typically, when we conduct tests in cars we receive positive tests on dashboards, steering wheels, and interior windshield.
Why fentanyl test strip should not be used in a contaminated location:
Test strips are designed for drug users to detect very specific forms of fentanyl in street drugs. They do not detect deadly carfentanil or fentanyl analogs.
