WOW another reason to be a member.

I just came across this NACHI member website (Metro Denver Colorado)/ $15.00 test kit


Free meth residue swab testing on request with regular inspection
Meth Residue Test Kit

Detect minute residue from meth manufacture or use. This test kit is the same test that is used by DEA for a quick assessment. Cleaning a meth lab may be a nightmare. Know when to walk away from a house with this 10 second test. These kits are always in stock and are shipped by first class mail on the business day following order. Postage included $15.00 USD

Each kit comes with two tests. Simply swab a porous area that has not been repainted with the swab. Insert the swab into the reagent bottle. If it turns blue or purple within 10 seconds amphetamine or methamphetamine residue is indicated.
This is not a definitive test. A positive result indicates that an industrial hygienist who specializes in meth lab clean up should be contacted for further evaluation. Signs it might be a meth house

I reviewed this website awhile ago. A few differences, the Drug Detective Kit offers the testing of 6 different drug contaminations in the property. Also, I could not find the sensitivity level of the kit. I believe the test shown here uses a reagent system, which means the sensitivety level is not very high. We test for Meth at 50 billionths of a gram per ml...

Kris, how much is lab-testing? You mention it in the video (good one, BTW!).
I don't want to be the final one to have my butt hanging out over a "blown deal"-
That's the best reason to have a lab make the final say-so (I'm in my 3rd year of meth testing services; among the 1st NACHI members to offer it).

Hi Russ,

Hey, DuffMeister!
I'm cranking away to break into comm'l, so I pay a lot of attn to you . . .

Mike Cooper - Structural Narcotics Detection Service -- had been in Kalispell MT but has recently moved to the Bozeman area. He does not have his website or email set up again, but can be called. He has a course you take before using his lab services, to be certified to do the sampling. I've always been happy with his service; tell him Russ sent you!

Cheap swab tests are available here. http://scottcompany.com/p-mrs.htm They don't give you any legal documentation, but are cheap enough to help you figure out WHERE to do the lab swab tests. Also, my experience is that these may give you false positives or false negatives. When you've got a home purchase hinging on your say-so, that's a lot of liability to assume. That's why I use Mike's lab.

Thanks Russ,

I was thinking about using them for Hotels, Multi-Family properties, etc.

There would probably be a pretty good demand, and an investor buying a commercial property usually has a 90 day due diligence period so the testing would be in the time frame, and I doubt even if anything was found they would back out of a deal, unless of course something really bizarre came back...but the tests would certainly lessen their likelihood of a lawsuit...especially from some of the rat-nest hotels I have inspected lately.

Keep a handful of the cheapos with you, Dale, & that'll give you backup to recommend lab testing . . .

Dale & Russ,
My experience with clients requesting Meth testing is that they want a legit report back depicting the findings. This month I had two calls for testing. However, I'm still looking for a reputable lab and a good kit that can be use. Any thoughts? I do not want to have the liability, taking a sample with a kit that I will be interpreting the results, unless is backup with lab results. You should always cover your rear.
R/John.

[Russell Spriggs]

John, did you see my post #8, above, & Mike Cooper's lab?

[John M. Acaron]

Russ, Yes I did;
Do you have an e-mail or website for this lab. I tried to search and can not find anything. I'm looking for a company just like that. Thanks!
