FYI, Best Press is also a starch product. They have added surfactants to help it absorb into the fabric faster, which helps with flaking. If you do a search for MSDS (MSDS = Material Safety Data Sheet) on Best Press, you will see it is a starch product.
The best way to stop starch from attracting critters is to not store starched fabric for any length of time. Starch it right before you use it, then wash immediately. Or you could switch to sizing instead.
