The point of attracting them is of course is so you can lure them away from the tomatoes and then "deal with them" as you see fit.
I've heard they really prefer datura over tomatoes. Haven't tried it yet.

I would like to grow datura sometime, although kept away from the dogs, of course. Very toxic, along with brugsmania. ( Angels Trumpet)
