This might be a stupid question: i'm using permethrin (0.25%) dust tomorrow to dust my coop and birds. Do i need to use a face mask and gloves and stuff? Is it going to hurt me?

You need to clean the whole henhouse and dust the roosts and nest boxes. Dust all the birds. Sevin Dust 5% carefully, nothing near their eyes or beaks. Should do this more than once, I'd wait a week and dust them again.
