Protect your Property from Drug Labs
Rental Property
- Over half of drug lab properties discovered are on rental properties, and property owners are ultimately responsible for the decontamination costs. Take these steps.
- In addition to the cleanup costs, the owner also must bear the loss of rent, damaged property, loss of respect of neighbors, etc.
Hotel/Motel
- Drug labs are commonly discovered in hotel/motel rooms, and the owner of the property is ultimately responsible for the cleanup costs. Take these steps.
Self/Mini Storage Units
- People involved in illegal drug manufacturing may use storage facilities to store hazardous materials and apparatus. Keep an eye out for these warning signs.
- In addition to boxed labs, manufacturers have been discovered "cooking" inside storage facilities.
IF YOU SUSPECT A DRUG LAB
DO NOT ENTER the property. Labs present a risk of exposure to dangerous chemicals and possible explosion. Contact local law enforcement. In an emergency, call 911.
