You can't get a sterile house period, keep it dry and clean and maintained it'll last way longer then the piles of cardboard and vynal we call hoses now
Straw is grain stalks without the grain pods. Hay is diverse dried grasses.
If you plaster over the straw, you don't have to worry about it, because it's densely packed and fills up the space between the walls. In conventional building there's just a bunch of empty space in the walls- and guess where all the house spiders and centipedes and stuff come from?
Do the hay bales not get infested with bugs and mice?
Wood houses do too. You can't get a sterile house with organic materials.

A house is always a kind of eco-system.
