Got a few new Duke DP traps in today. Anything I should do to them before using them?

I hang them outside for a few days but I don't think any prep is necessary on dp traps. Coons aren't too picky.

I dipped mine along with my water traps last fall. Acetone and rusty metal primer. That turned out good and have caught coons with them. Probably don’t have to but was dipping already so throw ‘‘em in.

If they are new Dukes they are already painted brown and ready to go.
I don't remember if those come with a mid chain swivel, but if they don't I'd add one, but that's all I'd do.
