Set my traps out in the sun.

So my traps have been in dormancy since late Oct. Weather is starting to warm but we still have nights down to about 20F.
Its 50s today so I put my traps outside with water in their tray. Thinking this will help them come out of dormancy.
My dormancy location is a coleman cooler in my garage with grow lights and thermostatically controlled heat mat. It comes on at about 33 degrees and off at 37. Grow light schedule equals daylight hours.
I open the cooler during the day and close at night. Recently temp approached almost 60f. So my thinking is stronger light will pull them out of dormancy.
