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?
It's not a stupid question. I always use gloves in case I get a scratch and sometimes a face mask when cleaning out my coop. I dusted yesterday for spiders and bugs, cleaned really well and dusted with Sevin dust. I did have all the doors open tho so dust was at a minimum. I don't use a mask when dusting my birds. It's just a good precautionary method tho so you don't get sick yourself or breath in too many dust particles.
