Cool.
Just a reminder and please don;t take this the wrong way but bugs/insects, humans, chickens, pets and fish are all animals. One similarity between us all is our nervous system to varying degrees of complexity.
Permethrin is deadly to aquatic species and cats fyi. So when using please be careful and do not use if you are near water formations like a lake.
The big determining factor of the chemistry is that it tends to be active in cold blooded animals. SO I would guess amphibians and reptiles would also have issues with permethrin. Just think of those cute little baby box turtles crawling nearby and complunking dead on your property. Or don't.
To an earlier poster as a veteran infantryman and college graduate I take offense to the condescending statement about waving crystals and suggestion that I am partaking in getting high. Nothing wrong with the latter if that's your choice imo, but it's just not for me. I do not have a pick up truck farm. I have a farm. So maybe I have an advantage in that I can move my animals around to escape parasite build up. But I also have greater responsibilities as a steward of the land. I have ponds, creeks and fish and frogs and all sorts of animals that be all the way to bears. I love the fact there are so many frogs out here as that cuts down on the bug population that bother me at night. SO if I used these chemicals as a regular practice one day I am sure have an impact on them. I was also a combat medic in the army so I am proficient in medicine. DO know harm was a motto. This meant we always started with the least invasive method we could. Imagine if every time someone needed their airway open and we just criced them? Maybe all they needed must a simple chin tilt lift. Maybe just a little suction. I think relying on pesticides is like putting tq on a pt for a small cut on their arm.
