No. Bugs like to eat cotton fabric, cotton batting, and wool batting with or without starch applied.Using starch and pressing your fabric does not make it more tasty to bugs. Starch does not attract bugs. Starch has been used on fabric for thousands of years to add stiffness and body fabric.If you're worried about this, keep your house clean. Keep your fabric in bins or hanging off the ground, and watch out for moths. If you see bugs, clean up and kill the bugs.
