Lisa, I've never heard of 'wireworm tracks' and don't recall them leaving holes in the surface at all. They are really never on the surface unless you turned them up, in my experience.
Lots of other things can make noticeable holes - ground nesting bees, beetles (which may be friendly) etc. So I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it's a pest.

I'm finding that there are fewer wireworms in my beds, the longer I have them in vegetables instead of grassy/perennial weeds. No bites on my potatoes this year! So a pepper bed that's been weeded a couple of years sounds promising.
