Sawyer has some "soak in" permethrin that kills the ticks - you soak your socks and clothes in it and the ticks die when they climb onto them. Sawyer also makes some time-release DEET repellent that works on your skin. Most repellents do NOT work on your clothes as they act to counter the bugs receptors of your scent, etc.

Cabellas has the above products. I used them in Africa and had zero bug problems. As a repellent, Avon's "Skin so Soft" also works well.
