A non-toxic, environmentally safe and easily employable insecticide and inse ct repellant is achieved by providing an aqueous composition incorporating ethanolamine based compounds, either independently or in combination with the ethanolamin e based compounds being selected from both simple compounds and conjugated compounds. In one preferred embodiment, a highly effective composition is attained for safe, effective, direct topical application to humans and animals by employing between about 10% and 70% by volume of the entire composition of the ethanol - amine-based compound. In alternate preferred embodiments, the insecticide is formulated for application to plants, trees, crops, and other vegetation to provide a composition which effectively controls bothersome insects, while being completely safe and non-injurious to the plant, tree, or crop, as welt as to the flowers or fruit thereof. In addition, the compositions of this invention are completely biodegradable , and are safe to the environment and water supplies.
