Cycle your bags or whatever you are growing on weekly(1st flush) or at the most bi-weekly(2nd flush). Fly strips help too. They are non-toxic nowadays.

Ye man I usually leave each room for both flushes. And got a different room for colonizing. I've got some traps set up but with the lock down I can't really get much

Usually with insect control you need to do continuous application based on their life cycle/gestation period, an one week application wont be enough to kill them all because there is likely eggs and nematodes present (that the insecticide wont be effective in killing) which will turn into adults and start a new life cycle. If you can find out what type of insect you have you can apply an insecticide at a rate based on that particular insects complete life cycle. Generally this will be at least 2-4 weeks of at least a weekly application. You could also try some IPM methods which would consist of predatory insects specific to the species of pest insect, traps of specific colors that attract that particular insect (as seagu mentions), temperature increases/decrease that are lethal to the insect etc. Since you've already cleaned it out and sealed/isolated the room you can do follow up applications of insecticides based on their life cycle and find out at what temperature they will die and increase that room well beyond that temperature for an extend period. The nice thing with bag culture is the nematodes and eggs will usually be present in the substrate media and removal of that media should drastically reduce the population.
Phorid flies suck, I had them ruin my last outdoor crop of oyster mushrooms, despite having netting over the containers.

when i was growing in the tropics, I used to give my friends kids a cookie for every lizard they could catch and put in my fruiting space. Not sure if you have lizards where you live though. if youre on a relatively small scale and you have a little dust buster or vacuum, you can hold it under the gills of the oysters and gently tap the caps so they get sucked into the vacuum. Its a pain in the ass but it helps
