Liquid aeration/Surfactants and worms

We know worms are very beneficial in breaking down compost (clippings, leaves, ...) in our lawns, along with other benefits they bring.

We also know worms can drown very easily, and like most insects, rely on water's surface tension to be able to tolerate exposure to water on their skin. One of the best ways to kill many pesky insects like wasps and beetles is to spray them with soapy water.

Although many promote liquid aeration as a miracle chemical for root growth, do we know how it impacts worms and other soil insects?
