Larry,

 

Thank you for correcting my error!  I was wrong and you are absolutely
correct.  Pyrethrum is indeed toxic to fish as well as small animals.
Hopefully nobody followed my suggestion.  I checked out the Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) for Pyrethrum (concentrate) at
http://www.southernag.com/PDF%20Files/ms1040.pdf and it definitely states
that it is "toxic to fish, birds, and wildlife".  
 
A water spray sounds like a good idea to me too!
