That would be a problem for me . I wear the chaps commando style when its this hot. So I would most certainly get bit in the assEatenByLimestone said:They would certainly help, but I'd be sure to wear pants under them just to make sure one doesn't spring up and bite you in the ass. The heavier the denim and workboots the better. Kinda sucks because it's been so hot out lately.
The only way to avoid them is to either cut when it's cold and they aren't into moving or in winter when they just aren't around.
Make sure you have heavy gloves and a jacket on too. Your hands and arms will be right down next to them. Maybe this job could be put of until early mornings in September?
