How to spot a Meth Lab Home









When a pound of illegal methamphetamine is created, it generates more than four pounds of toxic waste. This waste kills plants, makes houses unsafe to live and contaminates forests and farmlands. The houses that housed meth labs and were foreclosed by the state are still unlivable due to various health hazards. As a concerned neighbor and a good citizen one can help put a stop to this by keeping their eyes and noses open.

There are several ways to spot a meth lab. Firstly notice if there are any unusual smells in the house like smell of cat urine, ammonia, acetone (smells like nail polish remover) Ether or any strong chemical smell. Next check if there are any out of the ordinary sights happening around like blacked out windows or strangers coming and going from the house at all hours. The trash coming from the house is also a big sign especially if the trash contains things like beakers, duct tape, neon-stained coffee filters, or a lot of clear glass containers (very unusual for a suburban home owner). If you are a pharmacist or just happen to be in a pharmacy, notice when someone buys cold medicines in large quantities. This is almost a dead give away because a meth maker will use a lot of cold tablets as they contain ephedrine or pseudoephedrine—Sudafed for instance—per batch. Check their recycle bins as they will mostly contain a lot of copper instead of paper and plastic. The house or its surroundings will have Coleman fuel and HEET containers lying around. The property surrounding the house will also contain strong clues. There will be some amount of wall discoloration, corroded gas canisters and plants and trees dying around the structure.


If you notice any of the above instead of confronting the suspect yourselves make sure you call the higher authorities. To ensure a free clean zone, we at Bio-Cleanse have the skill and expertise to thoroughly decontaminate and remediate all types of Met Lab locations in the Goulburn, Sydney and Canberra areas.

Do you have what it takes?








Most crime scene cleanup technicians do not work nine to five hours. Instead, they are on the job, usually for 12-hour shifts throughout weekends, almost two nights every week, and one or two weekends a month. This is due to the general nature of the work we do. It is scattered and regular hours are a luxury for our employers, who are usually the local law enforcement agencies. As a result of which you are required to be able to work at a moment's notice. You cannot be out of city, at a party, drinking, or otherwise be unavailable once called.


One of the main job duties we do is cleaning up human waste. This includes cleansing blood off walls and objects, the floor covering, throwing off articles of furniture, and bag loose human remains the medical examiner has left behind. You are at all times required to wear acceptable protecting gear to stop exposure to blood-borne pathogens. Your training teaches you to make use of the chemicals to use to get the work done, as normal cleaners don’t fully sanitize affected areas.

Another common cleanup scenario is once criminals like meth and other drug dealers are taken into custody, and the toxic chemicals left at the crime scene need correct disposal. Training for crime scene cleaners usually include protective gear one wears, a way to handle numerous dangerous chemicals, correct disposal strategies and accounting for all inventories. You treat all substances at a crime scene as doubtlessly dangerous, even though they maybe labeled otherwise, because they may be mislabeled to forestall detection by authorities.

Perhaps the foremost dangerous scenario for crime scene cleanup professional is being called to wash a possible bio-terrorism site. If you are managing infectious agents, you've got to wear hot, significant protecting gear, like a HAZMAT suit, double-filter respirators and chemical-spill boots. You’re coaching covers respiration protection, official communication channels, and awareness of your personal space and labeling procedures. It is vital all procedures are followed to the letter, otherwise you risk infecting not solely yourself, but innumerable others by being careless.
