Rhubarb leaves, even although they ARE poisonous, can be used to make an effective organic spray that will kill leaf-eating insects in your garden.  This spray is harmless to bees and breaks down in the soil quickly.
To make the rhubarb spray, boil a few pounds of fresh rhubarb leaves in a few pints of water for 20 minutes.  Allow the liquid to cool and strain off the liquor into a container.  NOTE:  BE SURE TO USE OLD UTENSILS AS THIS WILL STAIN AND POISON THE POT AND THE STRAINER! Dissolve some soap flakes (approximately 4 ounces) into the mixture while stirring it vigorously.  Pour into a spray bottle and apply to infested plants.  REMEMBER!  - DON'T USE THIS SPRAY BOTTLE FOR ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN YOUR RHUBARB SPRAY!
