Calling people liars because you can't get something to work is not nice.

You have to make sure that there are no gaps in the coverage - I was pulling my hair out trying to work out why I was still getting spawns. I eventually found a tiny gap between the coverage areas of 3 Workbenches that was enough to let it happen. You also need to make sure that they can't wander into the area from outside.

People use Workbenches because you can see the circle of effect - once you've got the coverage right, you can replace them with (unlit) torches (or other things that you can then bury).
