I use those big Brute HDPE garbage cans stored outside in shade. You mentioned you seal your container, well I'm pretty anal about contamination but I do just the opposite. I actually put screws in the top lip of the garbage cans so that when I lock the lids down there is a gap left that allows for air circulation. During the summer, temps and humidity get high and at night things cool. That change of temperature can and will cause condensation to develop and if there's no air movement, mold can grow. I vent all of my waxed dirt and sand storage cans as well for the same reason.
I'll take this topic one step further. There are two types of scent contamination, one is getting something such as lure or bait on your trap and the other is air-borne scent contamination. This topic is about air-borne. So, some odd scent has been in the air around where your traps are stored and it's thought they've now been contaminated because the wax has absorbed the odor. Well, why would it not be thought that when we bury the traps in the ground, the traps don't absorb the odor of the dirt?? I mean, you can't have it both ways! If the wax picks up this odor, why can't it pick up any odor! It's the first scent contamination that is the real problem IMO and experience.
