Insecticidal soap query for poem

I am doing an open university course in creative writing and am currently writing a poem. I was wondering whether insecticidal soap would kill larvae (not specifying sort in the poem) as I need something to rhyme with Good King Henry!!!

No idea - but I'd love to read that poem when it's done!

The moderator of a gardening magazine's messageboard found out for me and yes, it does kill larvae! Will post the poem up sometime next month hopefully after I get it marked!

Well multi-veg, unable to answer the actual question, I spent much of today while travelling, with the words Good King Henry running through my head...

All I could come up with was - environmental sentry.

I too look forward to the finished work!

Boots - well done! I too was thinking of what rhymed with Henry - couldn't think of anything!!! Will be interested to read the poem!
