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.

Mimic (1997)

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!
