Do you do it that way?
I'd advise trying to do it a different way. To help illustrate in which order to do the chambers, starting from the bottom-left and going clockwise, number them 1 - 7. The order I would do them in is 5, 6, 7, 3, 4, 2, 1.

×Attack the roaches in chamber 6 and any that spawn nearby, ignoring the ones that come from behind again, though you will need to get behind the walls of chamber 6 to stop the roaches getting you afterwards.
See if you can finish the room off - Order of chambers is:
5, 6, 7, 3, 4, 2, 1
