[CH] Flea Beetles - Help!!

Greetings, all!

My garden is being overrun with flea beetles - not just on my peppers,
but on EVERYTHING.

Going to get some Diatomaceous Earth today.  But wonder what I can do to
prevent/conquer such outbreaks.

I assume they're living in the grass - I'm on 10 acres of mostly
pasture, surrounded by 100s more.  So, they're probably in the grass. 
But I've never been inundated by one pest - usually, the problems are
local, and there may be several pests.

But this year - wow!  We're in a drought here, so that prob. is also to
blame.  And last winter was mild.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance -

Robert.
