I'm a big fan of permethrin on long pants and long sleeves. I'd rather be hot than have lyme disease.

I initially bought Sawyer permethrin, but just recently discovered Martin's permethrin for about one 50th the cost, you just have to dilute it the correct amount before spraying with your own sprayer.

I used it on all my hiking clothes. Apparently, I didn't use enough. I got bit through my pants last time.

Tape the legs of long pants with duct tape. Too tight on the inside to get in and too slick on the outside for a toehold.
