Wireworm in carrots

Is there any way to prevent wireworm in carrots?
Usually a problem in newly cultivated ground (ex-grass ) which will decline
over the next few years as you cultivate. Keep turning the soil over to
expose the pest for the birds to eat.
Looking at my books they say dust the seed rows with Lindane or
Pirimiphos-methyl but I bet they are no longer available to the amateur.
