Baiting is the tactic of drawing zombies into a particular area to either kill the zombies, lure them away from someone/something, or to clear a path to a desired location.
Description[]
Common reasons for attempting to bait zombies are to eliminate all zombies in a given area, making that area safe, or clear a route for escape. For example, in The Walking Dead, Shane Walsh and Otis attempted to bait zombies with flares so they could get to a medical storage unit. This method is effective as it's silent, alluring to the kind of zombies they're facing, and it doesn't take any of their own ammo.

A person throwing an item that will make a lot of noise to where they want the zombie to go may trick the zombie into thinking that there is a victim in that area. This is only effective if that certain type of zombie has the ability to hear.
Food[]
