The Situation

WA's Meth Addiction

Both manufacturing and smoking meth leaves a toxic chemical residue that embeds itself into walls, floors, ceilings and furnishings. When meth is manufactured, contaminants can include mercury, lead, iodine, and lithium. Your body and young children’s bodies can take in this toxic residue in day to day life through touching and breathing. More labs than ever are being undetected and more people than ever are smoking. This is causing more homes to become contaminated. Exposure to meth residue can damage the nervous system and cause symptoms including headaches, irritated skin, and insomnia.

Meth Testing

While not every property in Australia is contaminated with meth residue, it is essential to protect your health and your wealth.

Meth testing and inspections will identify meth manufacturing and smoking that has occurred within the building.

For landlords and property managers, carrying out testing between tenancies to prevent contamination from building up or avoid temptation is being proven to work.

If you're purchasing a home, have a Pre-purchase Meth Test and Inspection written into your conditions of sale.

Stewarts Drug Testing

We are a family owned and operated company who are based locally in Western Australia. Knowing the grim, high level of meth use in our home state, we set out to combat a small proportion of the meth problem to help our local community. We have a team that are specialist in testing and inspecting for methamphetamine residue in rental, residential and commercial properties. Having an in-depth and personal understanding of the financial and health impacts that meth contamination can cause, you can trust that we have the level of knowledge and understanding you require.

How We Test For Meth

We offer both Rapid, and NIOSH 9111 Testing for meth residue. Both these tests can tell us if meth is present within a building. A Rapid Test is similar to a pregnancy test. It will give us an instant positive or negative result, but will not give us an exact reading on the level of contamination. The NIOSH 9111 test will provide us with an exact reading of the level of contamination within each area of the building.

Concerned about nosey neighbours?

We can attend your property in a Stewarts Pest Control truck.

When we arrive you wont receive unusual looks from your neighbours due to large signs noting "meth testing" or any of the alike. We can arrive in one of our Stewarts Pest Control trucks to protect your privacy.

Drug Testing For House : When to get it done and what are the limitations?

By Sensis Master • October 5, 2020

How Meth Contaminates a Building

By Monique Stewart • September 4, 2019

When meth is smoked, the crystals are heated and change form. Those tiny particles that become airborne and do not make it into the user's system, will land on the walls, floors, ceilings and any soft furnishings. Once the smoke hits these surfaces, the drug embeds itself into the surface and eventually changes back to its original form, tiny crystals

Families at risk with short-stay holiday rentals used to cook methamphetamine being left completely undetected.

By Monique Stewart • August 23, 2019

Do you rent out one of your properties as a short-stay apartment or home? Have you ever rented out a short-stay apartment/home for business or a holiday? Let’s get straight into it. A significant number of short-term holiday homes are being used to manufacture Methamphetamine. Yes, you read that correctly, they are being used as meth labs. In May this year, an Airbnb in Adelaide was found to have a meth lab set up by two gentlemen who rented the home for five nights. The police stumbled across the lab after responding to reports of a fire. The two men had only moved into the house just 24 hours earlier. They set up the meth lab within the property intending to set up the lab, manufacture Methamphetamine, pack up and leave within this short five day period being completely undetected, something that the Adelaide Police said isn’t uncommon in short-term rental properties. Meth labs don’t need to be a chemistry equipment style lab (like this setup); often there is no sign these types of drug labs even existed once they’re dismantled. What is left though is toxic, dangerous chemicals and meth residue for the next unsuspecting renter. This toxic residue can cause symptoms including persistent cough, asthma-like symptoms, trouble sleeping, ADHD, decreased memory function, skin rashes, watery eyes, dizziness and blurry vision—the list goes on. Although this incident is shocking, it is not a one-off occurrence. In December 2015, a similar situation happened in Queensland where police raided an Airbnb and found a meth lab set up for manufacturing meth. Not too long after this, in March 2016, an explosion occurred at the Meriton apartments in Queensland. It was said that a man was manufacturing meth at 5 a.m. in the holiday apartment when he was mixing chemicals that caused the explosion to happen.
