Any starch will attract bugs, but that's only when you use starch and then put it back in your stash. I've found this to be more true in humid climates than dry ones, e.g. when I lived in Wisconsin and Virginia, I couldn't leave starch in my fabric if it was going back to the stash, but out here in Nevada, I don't have a problem. I use the spray sizing on material that doesn't need a lot of extra "body" to it, and spray starch on fabrics that need more body, or when I'm cutting on the bias of the material for some reason, like with HST's.
