Sounds like the type insects that love old violin varnish bow hair & natural glues. I don’t think moth balls would hurt— just don’t put in contact with the guitar itself I would try putting M balls in the case pocket. Leave guitar in for few hours. Then open case see if fumes are minimal. Sounds like a only few just made it to your guitar. Likely/ possibly laid eggs? So definitely want to fumigate the guitar. I’d spray the case before with denatured Alcohol!!! Buy cheap spray bottle fill it with D Alcohol. Spray it good inside. It’ll dry quick
