Default Flea beetles

Had thought that slugs/snails had been munching on my pak choi plants and so I have been doing night patrols and planting beer traps.
However the damage continued and today I've spotted loads of flea beetles over my pak choi. They haven't touched my other brassicas and don't want them too! The farmer adjacent grew rape last year so I suspect thats where they came from.
Anyone got any good tips for control other than derris and keeping plants damp?
Have heard garlic spray can be of use but can't find a recipe

Many Thanks

Mike
