With about 70% of St. Petersburg homes built before 1980, cleanup may involve older materials that need careful handling and testing. In St. Petersburg, about 16% of housing is vacant. A long-empty home with an unclear history is worth testing before anyone moves in.
The work often covers:
- Sealed handling of contaminated materials as hazardous waste where required
- Discreet service in an unmarked vehicle when the owner asks for it
- Control of the work area so dust and residue do not spread to clean rooms
- Cleanup of hotel and motel rooms closed after signs of drug activity
- Cleaning or replacing parts of the heating and cooling system and its ducts

Meth Lab Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Bartlett Park, St. Petersburg, FL
Can children and pets stay in the home during cleanup?
No. Keep children and pets out of the affected areas until cleanup and retesting are done. They are closest to floors and furniture and are most at risk from residue. Find another place to stay if you can.
Is this medical or legal advice?
No. This page explains how meth lab cleanup works. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for legal questions, ask an attorney or the local health department.
What are the health effects of living in a contaminated home?
Reported effects include headaches, nausea, coughing, throat and eye irritation and skin problems. Children and pets are closest to floors and furniture. Anyone who feels ill should see a doctor or call Poison Control and mention the property.
Can I clean up after a meth lab myself?
It is not recommended. Residue cannot be seen, and household cleaners can spread it. Leftover chemicals and contaminated materials may also need regulated handling. If you suspect a former lab, leave, keep people and pets out, and call 911 or Poison Control for symptoms.
How do you test for meth residue?
A tester wipes or swabs defined areas of walls, floors, vents and other surfaces and sends the samples to a lab. The results show which areas hold residue. Testing happens before cleanup to plan the work and again afterward to check it.
Is meth lab cleanup covered by insurance?
It depends on the policy. Many homeowners policies exclude contamination from drug production, while some cover parts of it. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts, then take photos and keep every receipt.
