Creative mode mobs

I recently started building in creative mode and mobs outside the meadows are a constant annoyance. I watch build videos and never see people having to hit K like i wind up needing to do CONSTANTLY. I tried putting benches and torches around (for a good distance out, too) and they don't stop spawns one bit. case in point; I'm building about 100 meters away from a greydwarf spawner. I build a bench right next to it. they keep coming. I didn't wanna destroy it but I had too. go back to building. 3 karens every couple minutes. not from the spawner, it's gone.
what gives?
Is it that i'm in creative that makes spawn stopping not work?

And as soon as you start building, the mobs are attracted to your noise.
So you just have to keep mashing the K or build a ditch.

I fully understand "creative mode" and it's nature and limitations. as I said in the OP, I carpeted a large area with benches and torches and even camp fires. They still keep coming.
I have successfully stopped spawning in survival many times but it's just not working in my building character/map.
Are you sure your workbench radius are all covering the ground and not leaving a gap somewhere? Also not sure if a workbench will actually prevent mob spawns from an actual spawner.
