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.
Risk depends on the amount and the form. Breathing powder or getting it in the mouth or eyes is the main concern, and brief skin contact is generally less risky. Still, avoid touching it. If it happens, wash with soap and water and call Poison Control.
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.
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.
It depends on the size of the space, how far residue has spread, the materials involved and the gear needed. A cleanup team can give a real price after seeing or hearing about the site, and it should explain what is included before work starts.
Do not touch or sweep it. A cleanup team contains the area and cleans it safely.
