It’s not exactly Mormons that you need here. Just to point out, but the bugs on that movie are completely unable to redirect a space rock in any way.

Mormons with a starship?
Do you want bugs to drop a rock on Buenos Aires? Because that's how you get bugs to drop a rock on Buenos Aires.

They’ve got bugs that can shoot spaceships out of orbit with their butts. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think they could knock an asteroid out of orbit.
Though considering your username it might be you dropping the rocks.

They have almost zero space presence, they only attack the ships from the ground. The only thing they can do with space is sending eggs away. (And those asteroids weren’t knocked out of orbit, they were sent though hyperspace.)
Besides, the movie makes it pretty clear they just discovered they are in a war a few weeks prior.
(And now I’m wondering how the fuck do I remember that well a movie I’ve seen once, a long time ago… Is it actually good and I didn’t notice at the time?)

Their giant brain bug might have found a way to use eggs launched to knock them through hyperspace used by humans.

That was the point. In the books, the bugs had been flinging rocks towards the outer colonies for years, but the attack on Buenos Aires is heavily implied to be an inside job to rally support for an invasion, since they did not have hyperspace tech and no attack had reached the inner worlds, let alone Earth.
