Least Toxic Alternatives to DEET (Excerpt From Pesticide Action Network North America)

Citronella 
Citronella is the active ingredient most commonly found in "natural" or "herbal" insect repellents marketed in the United States. It is registered with the EPA as an insect repellent. Citronella oil has a lemony scent and was originally extracted from the grass plant Cymbopogon nardus. 


 
Sure-Catch™ Cucumber Beetle Trap Gardens Alive:: Sure-Catch™ Cucumber Beetle Trap

Put a halt to cucumber beetle damage. Both the larvae and adults can do serious harm to vegetables. Larvae chew holes and tunnel into roots, eventually destroying the plants. Adults will feed on foliage, transmitting diseases like bacterial wilt from plant to plant that can quickly decimate your whole garden.

Sure-CatchTM Cockroach Trap Sure-CatchTM Cockroach Trap Only from Gardens Alive! 

Place Sure-Catch Cockroach Trap virtually anywhere to trap cockroaches and other crawling insects, such as silverfish and pill bugs. The scented food bait is incorporated into the sticky glue on the inside of the trap. There are no separate lures to worry about and no messy liquids.

Nontoxic glue won’t stick to fingers or paws. Our trap’s unique triangular design protects the glue from dust and dirt that would eventually prevent it from trapping insects properly. Traps are disposable, so when the sticky surface is full of insects, simply throw it out and grab another trap.

Flea Secure™ Light Trap Flea Secure™ Light Trap
Now, you can stop fleas dead in their tracks with our easy-to-use Flea Secure Light Trap that offers years of protection. Our trap works by snaring adult fleas attracted to the light, heat and infra-red rays from a 5-watt or smaller nightlight bulb. Instead of plaguing your pet, the fleas jump on a sticky pad under the light. Trapping just one female flea can prevent 200 or more eggs being laid! Each pad captures and holds up to 10,000 fleas.

Simply place the trap near places where fleas are present, such as where your pet sleeps, eats or rests. Fleas are attracted to the trap from up to 25 feet away. Use more traps for severe infestations, the more pets you have or for fast relief. Each trap covers 625 square feet. The unit’s small size makes it inconspicuous in your home. Change the pad every three months or sooner if covered with fleas.
Trap measures 2"H x 7 1/2"W x 5 1/2"D.

The Better Mousetrap. hammacher.com:: The Better Mousetrap.

Favored by exterminators for its 100% efficacy, this is the most advanced rodent control system available. Mice are drawn to the trap by peanut butter or bacon bits (not included), and to reach the bait the rodent must walk along three electrically charged plates that sense the mouse's presence and instantly kill the rodent. After the mouse expires, the shock chamber automatically rotates and deposits the mouse in a receptacle, keeping it hidden from sight. The device automatically resets to capture the next rodent and the receptacle holds up to 10 mice before it has to be emptied. All electrical components are inaccessible to pets and curious fingers and the device automatically deactivates when the lid is opened. Requires four C batteries. 5" H x 4" W x 8 1/2" L. (2 lbs.)
