What ever you do don't put it in their water. It is a poison!

"In agriculture, Permethrin is mainly used on cotton, wheat, maize, and alfalfa crops, and is also used to kill parasites on chickens and other poultry. Its use is controversial since, as a broad-spectrum chemical, it kills indiscriminately; as well as the intended pests, it can harm beneficial insects including honey bees, aquatic life[1], and small mammals such as mice." -Wiki

Sorry I can't help with what you are supposted to do though.

I always get this one confused with this one.

Pyrethrum was initially derived from the crushed dried flowers of the daisy Chrysanthemum, whose insecticidal properties have been recognized since the 18th century.
