I had a plastic trap that worked well and it had a rust proof spring so I could use it outside. It worked for years, until I caught a chipmunk and something carried it and the trap off together during the night. I was going to empty it the next morning.
The manufacturer does not claim that the JT Eaton JAWZ Rat trap has a rust-proof spring, but it will be rust-resistant. If snap traps like this one are used outdoors, then it should be used inside a bait station such as the JT Eaton Strongbox. You could also use the EZ Snap Rat Bait Station, which is a station that comes with a reusable snap trap inside it.
