How to get rid of wire worms

I recently found some little golden worms about 1 inch. They almost look like a centipede with very little if any legs. They seemed to enjoy my peas seeds (also root crops). I had called the Master Gardeners Assoc and described them, they said they were wire worms. They are the larvae of the "click beetle", (of which I have never seen, nor heard of). They said that the old remedy was some poison that they would mix in the dirt. That has since been outlawed and taken off the market. I wouldn't want that stuff in my dirt anyway. Has anyone else heard of them, had them, or knows how to get rid of wire worms? Thank you in advance.
