Insecticide usuage

I have had little no problems EVER with insects in my pumpkin patch but with prospects for a big one this year it I do not want to take any chances.  I use a couple of rows of corn as a wind break and they are getting heavily infested with aphids and I am worried they will jump ship and invade the pumpkins.  Normally I would spray with Cygon as I have get results wit this product.  Question is, how is it with pumpkins?  It has worked wonders killing off insects on all my other plants but I have never used it on vegetables.  I don't care about eating my pumpkin I just do not want to hurt the plant (I don't care too much about the corn either as it was planted as a wind brake for the pumpkins).
 
I know there has been lots of discussion about insecticide so I know about what is recommended, but I have access to free Cygon and not all of us have money to spend (I am still trying to justify the fertilizer and manure - I better get 500 Lbs. or I'm in trouble.....)  ;)
