Short answer: they die. Long answer: the bleach causes softening of the exoskeleton, and renders it structurally instable. If you were to keep an insect in a jar full of bleach, for example, I'd wager it would be a gelatinous mass within a few days. Within just a few moments of pouring bleach on a cockroach, the insect began to writhe and squirm. It no doubt burns, and isn't a very humane way to kill the creature. However, it makes for an interesting science experiment.
