Pest control
I saw a roach :(Normal white sugar mixed with borax should be fine for baits yeah? I have icing sugar but it’s an unopened packet someone else could use.
Try not to worry too much about one. I find the occasional one here (generally in the kitchen) and we haven’t had an infestation
touch wood
I’ve actually seen at least three now and they were massive.

I’ve put a few sugar and borax baits down where the cat can’t get to them and am going to have to clean anything that might attract them
The borax baits sound like a good idea, and relatively non-toxic. Good luck!
