Residue can stay until it is cleaned, and no one can tell by looking. That is why a closed area should be left alone until a cleanup team has cleaned it. You can ask the team to explain the methods it uses and how it checks the work.
Some teams offer sampling and some do not. Rules for testing and clearance vary by place. Ask the team what it checks, and ask the local health department what applies where you live.
It depends on the policy. Some policies cover certain contamination cleanup, and others exclude drug-related damage. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts. Take photos from a safe spot and keep every receipt.
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.
Fentanyl itself usually has little smell, but drug use can leave other odors in fabric and walls. Once contaminated materials are out, a team can treat odor. Ask what methods the team uses and whether that is part of the plan.
It is a controlled drug and a health hazard when exposed. How it is labeled depends on the legal setting, but for safety purposes it should be treated with care. Cleanup crews use protective gear and handle waste by the rules that apply.
