Default What pests do you expect vendors to disclose?

What pests would you expect an ethical vendor to disclose? In the past year of getting back into orchids, I think I’ve only had a single vendor (the Tarzane Group) where I didn’t identify a single pest on any of their plants. The most common pests I find are bush snails, mealybugs and scale, but I’ve also found some kind of mites and slugs. These were a mix of random eBay sellers and large, well-known businesses. One set of plants from a local, reputable greenhouse was so infested with mealybugs that I ended up throwing out a plant.

I usually wouldn’t expect a vendor to disclose snails or slugs, they’re so ubiquitous, but pretty much anything else I would expect a warning. What do you all think?
