getTraps() will give you the traps in a JimpleBody. (Yes, this is sort
of unintuitive). You can manipulate the list of traps as you wish.

There are issues with creating unit graphs in the presence of traps, but
if you're lucky you won't need to worry about those. For inserting code
before the try, you can definitely manipulate the Trap.
