I had the same when I took over my Lottie three years ago.
Apparently they are prevalent in areas that were grass and as you dig the grass over and remove the grass then the blighters reduce.
This has been true for me because three years later and the numbers of Wireworms in my soil has greatly reduced.
99% Organic and 1% Slug Pellets.

Allotment holder since 27th May 2007.
