That's very interesting. Most snipe here in California will go for avacado. Though there are some types in southern California that like silicone (yeah it's weird but it works).
Up here in the north you can attract the local variety pretty easily with any sort of 'organic' fruit or vegetables. If you plan to head further north than SF (say humboldt county) you'd be wise to get some 'sticky bud' and doritos.
