winter?

For a long time I have believed that all this fuss one hears about pests
becoming rampant if there aren't any winter frosts, really is utter rubbish

After many years of gardening here, where we hardly get any frost, and snow
is as rare as hens' teeth, I have never experienced such a 'plague'.
Anyway, if it were that much of a problem, how on earth do they ever manage
to grow anything further south, on the Scillies, or more southerly still in
milder regions of the continent?
Best wishes,
Keith
well I think global warming has a lot to answer for just look at the
insects flying around too many critters for this time of year
