You know things we just don’t like? Flies, Nats, Beetles, Spiders you get it. Why did God create them? What good do they do?
 
He made them for whatever purpose He made them. We do not need to know His purpose for everything nor should we expect to know. That does not mean that we don’t trust that He had His purposes.

They all fill some ecological niche. Spiders eat other bugs, controlling their population. Fly larvae (maggots) decompose dead flesh. They all have their role.

God Bless
 
They probably weren’t pests to begin with and what the PPs said.
 
Penance…for YOUR SINS (j/k)

but seriously, I agree with Bruised Reed, for the whole circle of life thing, and before we fell we were not really bothered by them…
 
If not for those pests, there wouldn’t have been ten plagues in Egypt! (See Exodus, starting in chapter 7). 🙂
 
What makes anyone think for a moment that human beings are even capable of recognizing, much less understanding, a reason or motive that God might or might not have?
Does God need a reason for doing anything?
