I would refresh the bait.
As for the bite marks on the garbage can lid? If your sure they are from a rat and not a possum or raccoon?
Does the City, County or State have a rat abatement program that will step in to help you. Sometimes you just need to ask.
I live in a nice section of Chicago but rats are a problem. Believe it or not one of their major sources of foods has to do with the turds that get cranked out from the designer dog food tiny little rat like, car wash sponge dogs the princesses all have (You would have to glue 12 together to get a real dog). People don't feel compelled to pick up after their pets here, or even curb them so the street sweepers can move you know what away. The City is aggressive about rodent control.
