From the outside:

Chemical smells coming from a house or building. The smells can be sweet, bitter, ammonia or solvent smells.
Exhaust fans running at odd times.
Lots of rubbish around the outside of a house, garage or detached building on a property - especially empty containers or chemical containers.
Frequent visitors at odd times - mostly at night.
Windows blacked out or curtains always drawn
People coming outside only to smoke (because of the fumes inside).
Unfriendly occupants who are secretive about their activities or exhibit paranoid or odd behaviour.
Expensive security and surveillance gear
Access denied to landlords, neighbours and other visitors
Rubbish containing a large amount of cold medication containers or packaging, bottles, plastic containers and boxes with labels removed.

If you find a clan lab - get out:

Get away from the area immediately - your safety is the most important thing. Clan Labs are never safe.
Never taste, touch or smell any chemicals or equipment
Do not turn any electrical devices such as lights or fan on or off. The simple act of turning on an electrical switch could cause an explosion.
Do not shut off the water supply to the house or the chemical reaction.
Do not smoke in or near a clandestine laboratory
Do not use tools, radios, cell-phones, torches or devices that produce sparks or friction.
Call the Police immediately
