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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is dying your traps necessary?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"95\" data-end=\"125\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"103\" data-end=\"125\"\u003eProtects against rust -\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ewithout treatment the traps will rust by nature over time.
