Do you know what happened in your hotel room before you slept there?
Most people assume only lower end cheap hotels are used to manufacture methamphetamine. This is not the case at all. Meth cooks are getting smart and they are taking their manufacturing equipment to hotels and motels in a city near you. Why would they do that? It affords them the anonymity they desire. They can easily dispose of their waste and go undetected. Most other hotel guests aren't paying attention to what's going on in the other rooms. After the cook has made a few batches over a couple of days they exit the hotel and the next unsuspecting guest moves in. The toxicity is all over the walls, the bedding and the carpets. More than likely all the meth oil was poured down the drain, along with the remainder of chemicals that weren't used. Meth cooks know that its harder to get busted in a hotel room than in their own home. The problem is, they are contaminating an environment they do not not have to live in. What is even worse is that hotel staff have no idea what to do with a room that has been contaminated by methamphetamine. Most of them don't even care. Countless hotels/motels in the Orlando and Tampa area have told us directly that they are not legally required to decontaminate. There are those companies who will go that extra step by hiring our team of professionals but most do not wish to incur the expense.
In the worse case scenario, the labs go undetected until they explode and put many other lives in danger. Hotel management has a moral responsibility to decontaminate these rooms and not expose unsuspecting guests to this toxic environment. One pound of methamphetamine produces 6 to 7 pounds of waste.
How can you find out if your hotel was used to make meth? There is no way to tell unless the hotel has been tested. There are over the counter test kits but they are very unreliable. Best advice..... Don't use the coffee pot!
