They are extremely important for getting rid of dead things. Everything contributes to the ecosystem, except invasive species, OP's premise is impossible to begin with.

Like really? Even pest cocroaches, they eat dead flesh 🀨? Cuz I thought they only went after good food (not rotten).

They don't just eat dead animals, they also eat dead plant matter. Humans decided that some animals are "pests" because they don't like having them around for one reason or another.

My main concern is hygene, nothing more (spread of jerms and viruses)... other than that, I have no problem living with all sorts of insects.

I was in Egypt once and stayed in a trailer in the middle of the desert (long story πŸ˜‚). Anyway, the trailer was kinda dusty, so I decided to clean it a little bit. I pull the bed, a big fucking spider underneath it... OK, I guess we're not cleaning inder the bed πŸ˜‚. Pull a drawer, a scorpio inside... OK... so, that about sums up my cleaning for the day 🀣.

My point is, I wasn't scared of them. They attack only of you do stuff to them, you stay out of their way, they won't do amything to you ☺️.
