When we expect to be in an area with ticks (or chiggers, in other parts
of the world), my wife and I spray our shoes, socks and trousers with
permethrin <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permethrin>. This is available
as a product called Duranon, by mail order from some US suppliers. It
hasn't been approved for use in Canada yet so some suppliers won't ship
it here, but others will.
At least one company, Insect Shield, sells clothing pre-treated with
permethrin, and we've had good luck with their products. The treatment
remains effective through many washes, apparently.
