It helps (or so I think) to fling a few bay leaves in, you can fold some in when you set aside your sewing for the night too. I have never had a problem with them discoloring aything. YMMV

They will eat ink off stamps and holes clear through fabric. (they can destroy a thousand dollar stamp pretty easily) We are pretty lucky here in the desert. I guess they don't like the dry climate so much. Boric acid and roach stuff seems to help keep them away I remember from San Diego.

What sort of insect is it - we don't have anything like that in uk - no poisoness insects, fierce animals, and only the odd poisoness snake, and they keep well away from habitation.

Maybe Sally is lucky enough not to have seen them. Here is a bit about them:
