This liquid logwood-type dye does a nice job of dying the traps. Pete's Sleepy Creek Liquid Trap Dye comes in an 8 ounce bottle and is mixed with 5 gallons of water. Once the trap dye and the water is mixed bring the solution to a boil then back it down to a simmer and simmer the traps in the dye solution for an hour. This will produce an odor free and protective shield to your traps. Generally it will dye about 4 dozen traps.
