As soon as I admited publicly that I couldn't do this room I saw the answer right in front of me. I think looking at the room as an insert helped me see my problem. If anyone else ever needs this help here is the clue that helped me.

×Figure out how to get the roach queen to be where you can kill her and get off the arrow.
I'm surprised no one else mentioned this, but there is a much simpler solution to this room.

×If you are careful with your movement and mime placement you only have to kill the unreachable queen and prevent the cluster of 3 queens from entering the trap doors.

×If you place your first mime directly south of the southern most force arrow the cluster of 3 queens is running to (i.e. two squares north of (2) in the image inside the first post), it will stop the unreachable bug from entering the force arrow, so you don't have to rush to the last potion.

×Is there some way to prevent any of the queens from even approaching the trap doors in the west?

×Specifically is there some way to prevent the two queens in the middle area from moving?

×After grabbing the first potion, simply take the slightly longer route to the NW rather than the SW to head W. Those two queens won't move since you are above them, and you can simply kill them before grabbing the second potion. The rest is trivial.
