It's never too late to start! I retired to homestead on the slopes of Mauna Loa, an active volcano. I relate snippets of my endeavor on my blog : www.kaufarmer.blogspot.com
Haven't tried this, but heard of it and would use it if I needed to. A free range flock of Banties in the apiary. The gentleman in Florida that uses them says the chickens are crazy for the beetle grubs in the sands around his hives. So much so that he has to regularly grade the sand back into the pits they make around the hives. I'm sure it's not a cure all, but any natural control is great and I like chickens.

A transparent, red piece of acrylic shaped like a lid. It fits over a honey bee box hive, known professionally as a Langstroth hive, which almost looks like a small set of drawers. As sunlight shines through the acrylic, it creates red light inside the hive that disturbs small hive beetles and deters them away. He calls the product the Beetle Banisher.

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!
