yep... that is exactly why they are so useful, but this isn't a food crop so don't feel too stressed over it. just apply the stuff and be happy its available. I have never seen so many aphids and white fly as this year either. between the cucumber beetles and the aphids they have destroyed my melon crop this year. the tomatoes re a constant battle for me and the cucumbers in the greenhouse were trashed by the aphids and cucumber beetles since it was too hot to keep it closed. and I think neem is a waste too unless you are the one selling it.... I see no effect on the insect pressure. it just gets worse and worse.
