How can I get rid of wireworms in my garden?

Wireworms & pill bug control

New for me this year are the two listed insects above. I have used some essential oil soil drenches to no avail. The are chewing on roots of my newly transplanted cauliflower and my direct seeded beans.

You can cut a potato in half stick and small stick through it, and bury it in the place where you last saw them for about an inch. Have caught some this way, but I am nematoding the area during winter.
