Kill Insects That Could Harm My Pumpkins

It is getting close to that time where insects start appearing.  I found my first little cucumber beetle in the garden three days ago.  I figured it was time to purchase some organic insect destroyer material.  I found this product on the Internet and wanted to give it a try.  http://www.saferbrand.com/store/garden-care/5118 .  It stated it would be safe to eat your vegetables and appeared to be fairly harmless.  

Needless to say, my wife is also mad at me and will not use any of the kitchen measuring devices that I used again.  While I was weighing exactly 2.5 ounces of the material, I ended up getting it all over my hands and made a mess.  My wife read the label and it said do not get on your skin and if you do, wash the infected area for 15 to 20 minutes and then call poison control center.  Being that it was soap based and I thought it was all organic, I didn’t read all the warnings.

I’m still alive and washed the material off the best I could.  I sprayed my pumpkin plants tonight, but what is the best product to use to eliminate cucumber beetles?
