One gallon should do you fine.  You thin it out some anyway according to instructions.  Make sure your traps dont have pitted rust .  Fine surface rust is okay .  ALso  do two  coatings possibly three.   Two  light coats and letting dry in between is best.   If your traps have pitted rust , derust by  some method that you feel comfortable with , then dip.    Dip on  a sunny breezy day. If you do it early in day , its possible you can dip before dark again.    Good luck and happy dipping

A gallon? for 100 traps, a quart will more than do you.

True it would but i dont want to be dipping one or two traps at a time and the left over can be sealed and put where it doesnt freeze for next year or if one want to do more traps  or redo some...
