Hi Janean, we have used sharpies for sherman traps, but when washing them the code/number fades off and requires to remark each time.. in other words.. a lot of work..
but also we have need to relabel as we use the same traps for other studies and if they are numbered some way its a lot of work to take the number out when they are painted ... so all depends on what you want to do with them.. and if the numbering you would use will be usefull for other studies.. good luck!
