I have also read/heard that starch attracts bugs, but I've never had ANY kind of bug problem with my starched fabrics, so I would say that if you have a "bug" problem now, then don't store any fabrics that are starched, otherwise I wouldn't worry about it. I LOVE my starch. I've never had a problem with starch flaking either, but the proper way to use starch, is to starch whatever fabric/clothing/etc., at least 2 hours before working with, put into a plastic bag or the likes and let it sit, this way when you iron the fabric, you're ironing the fabric NOT the starch, which is where you get all that junk on your iron.
