GARDENERS' World expert Adam Frost has issued an urgent warning over pests in your garden - revealing three words you must live by.
The Chelsea Flower Show presenter said that less is more when it comes to dealing with backyard bugs.
He told Country Living: "How do I treat problems in my garden? I don't.
"Even if you get greenfly on a plant, you can guarantee that within one or two weeks, something will come in and clear it.
"The moment you start interfering, you are unbalancing what's going on."

Adam has coined a three-word mantra for gardeners obsessing over their flowers in the summer heat.
He said: "Don't chase perfection. You've got to trust nature to do it."
The expert added that the most worthwhile thing gardeners can do is make sure their plants are growing in nutritious soil.
He said that he usually digs a garden just once before mulching every one or two years - and lets the rest take care of itself.
