Methamphetamine production has resulted in a number of fires and explosions, but Smith is concerned about residual chemicals left behind.
Smith says homeowners are required to disclose details about termites and radon and that the same should be known about meth production.

Smith has created a task force on methamphetamine, looking for solutions to control production of the drug.
