Last summer we did bait the traps with some ripe tomatoes, but with only some success. The problem is, the rats are SMART, and figure out pretty quickly which tomatoes are safe and which are not! Once one gets caught in a trap, the others must check out their dead comrade and realize that traps=danger, because it always takes awhile before we catch another one. They also like to just shred the new foliage and use it to make their nests. I've lost so many young flower plants on the patio each spring that way
