I only have a dozen or so Acanthosaura/Gonos but in the same room 100 tropical geckos. I have a phorid fly problem and do use the sticky traps all over the place. One thing that has worked for the eggs is using tape on large holes in incubation container, then pin holing the tape to keep the small flys out. One other pest is a small spider that can be very prolific around these flys. It has a nasty bite and can bite your lizards.
As for the flys I do agree with Jobi on these being able to spread disease just as mites can.
I would recomend many sticky traps outside the cage, if inside in tubes smaller than lizards head and clean all cages once a week.
