It depends on the policy. Many homeowners policies exclude contamination from drug production, while some cover parts of it. Read your policy and call the insurance company before cleanup starts, then take photos and keep every receipt.
Not reliably. Residue can stay on surfaces and in materials for a long time. Airing out a home may reduce odor but does not remove residue. Testing and professional cleaning are how owners learn whether a property is safe.
Possible signs include strong chemical or ammonia-like smells, stained or discolored walls, burn marks, unusual equipment and unexplained headaches or irritation. These are not proof on their own. Testing is the only way to confirm residue.

It is not recommended. Residue cannot be seen, and household cleaners can spread it. Leftover chemicals and contaminated materials may also need regulated handling. If you suspect a former lab, leave, keep people and pets out, and call 911 or Poison Control for symptoms.
If anyone feels ill, call 911 or Poison Control first, then call for cleanup.
