If you are buying new , and I stress NEW, traps you can use the dishwasher to remove the factory oil.
I always dishwasher my new traps before hanging out to rust. conibear or not.
just don't use scented dishwasher soap. buy your own cheap stuff.
BTW rusty traps seem to hold the dye better.
Never tried it but some I've heard paint them.
Since its a long time to next years trapping season now might be the time to do that.
