Can a cockroach live up to a week without its head?
*There are two effects to a surviving headless cockroach. One is that the body may move short distances and spread disease by contamination. The second is that the egg sac of a female cockroach would not immediately die, and could reach maturation.
One Prominent Species
The Death's Head cockroach can live for one week without its head. This species of cockroach has six brains throughout its body, therefore, it can still fully function after its head is removed. However, without a mouth, it can not gain the food and water it needs for a long and healthy life, and will eventually dehydrate and starve to death.

How A Human Uses Its Head
(1) A human breathes through the mouth or nose and the breathing rhythm is controlled in the brain. Cutting off the head would interfere with breathing (although that could be maintained with a respirator).
(2) Cutting off the head would lead to blood loss and a drop in blood pressure, which would result in death due to lack of oxygen and nutrition to the body tissues.
(3) Cutting off the head would prevent eating and cause death by starvation or dehydration.
The above reasons do not apply to cockroaches and many insects in general.
Differences in the Cockroach
(1) Cockroaches breath through spiracles which are in each body segment and the blood does not have to carry oxygen to the tissues. The spiracles deliver air to each cell of the body through a set of tubes called tracheae. The brain does not control the breathing through the spiracles.
(2) The cockroach does not have blood pressure the way a mammal does and so cutting off the head does not lead to uncontrolled bleeding.
(3) The cockroach is a poikilotherm or cold-blooded animal. They need much less food and a one-day meal would be enough to last them a whole month as long as they were not extremely active. Without a head the cockroach would just sit around without doing very much.
With a low metabolism and cool temperature, the cockroach could last about a month without a need for its head, as long as they did not get infected with a mold, bacterium or virus, which could kill them prematurely.
A cockroache can live up to 10 days without its head. In fact it doesn't die of suffication but of dehydration.
a cockroach can live up to a week without it's head because it's brain is in its body.
Can cockroaches live in arctic and Antarctica circles?

I couldn`t find on :"What`s the use of roaches",but i did find out more stuff like..... * "How to kill roaches with sugar and baking soda.... Step 1 Mix together baking soda and white granulated sugar in a 1:1 ratio. If you are mixing more than you intend to use at once, store the extra in a sealed jar. Label the jar clearly so no one accidentally uses it.
Step 2
Fill small containers with the sugar and baking soda mixture. The tops from 1-gallon milk jugs are a good size for use with roaches.
Step 3
Place the containers in out of the way places where roaches gather, such as under the kitchen sink. Be sure the mixture is not put any place where children or pets can get to it.
Step 4 Put small containers of water out close to each container of baking soda and sugar that you placed. Check the water and the sugar and baking soda every couple of days and re-fill them as needed.
Step 5 Wait a few days to see if you notice a decrease in the number of roaches. The theory is that the sugar attracts the roaches to the mixture. They eat the sugar and baking soda and then go to the water dish for a drink. The combination of water and baking soda creates a gas in the roaches' stomach that causes their stomachs to burst and kills them.
