The two most likely are slugs/snail and mice. Look under your trays or modules for slugs etc. If no sign, try a mouse trap or leave some food on the ground and see if it disappears. Mice are excellent climbers.
I have whitefly nibbling at my tender cold GH plants also a sort of black fly - I try to squish them manually and have been fairly successful. Could this be your problem jb5? I try to open the doors as much as possible when it is sunny and calm outside as I think ventilation helps to combat the problem
