He'd seen a roach survive having its heart stopped (by tiny aliens. Very tiny, very obnoxious aliens). Chopping their heads off wouldn't kill them (not until they starved to death, at any rate), but at least a lack of mouth meant that they couldn't try to bite him. Or any of the others.
FWAP! FWAP! FWAP! Several roaches sreee'd their distress as limbs and antenna fell away from them, severed by Ax's tail.
