Don’t think I have flea beetles. Don’t see anything like that. Holes are not anywhere nearso bad. I’ll take a picture tomorrow when it is light.

I have used insecticidal soap or neem oil against flea beetles. I have also used Sevin but I use only when the insecticidal soap or neem oil does not seem to be working. Sevin is toxic to Bees and if my plants are flowering I never use it.

I have also used diatomaceous earth with great sucess against slugs and other insects, it might work on the flea beetle.
