Beneficial Nematodes & Castile Soap

I have read that both Dr. Bronner's peppermint castile soap and beneficial nematodes are good to use in the garden and in the yard against grubs, fleas, etc. We have both. The nematodes worked great in the garden & I am about to try them in the yard for fleas.

Will castile soap kill the nematodes, or can I use them together?

Please help. The fleas are making our dog crazy & I do not want to use chemicals, as our children are 3 & 5 yrs old.

I have a similar question. A person I talked to recently said that by covering the bermuda lawn with "Tide" (the laundry soap) I would kills the grubbs and when they went the moles that have infested my lawn would leave because they had no food source - and my lawn would be greener to boot!

Sounds to good to be true.

Any help appreciated.
