These are not clean rooms and invasive pests absolutely do make their way in and then have to be dealt with.

Usually soilless solves a lot of these issues. While the pests have lots to munch on, they don’t have their usual places to lay eggs.

Same for fungi: it’s usually brought, or becomes endemic, in with the soil.
