    Cockroaches have an open circulatory system and breathe through holes in their body segments, allowing them to survive for up to a week without a head. They do not require their mouth or head to breathe, but eventually die of thirst after a week without being able to drink water. Cockroaches are very hard to eliminate because their physiology allows them to live for a brief period without their head.
