Also, we have been using the already mentioned bot-trap from danielwebb.us/software/bot-trap for some time now. Since legitimate users can unblock themselves, it really doesnt hurt to use it.
Forgot to mention: I had to change functions.php to make this trap work.

$new_fp_name = tempnam("sys_get_temp_dir()","bbo");
  $new_fp = fopen($new_fp_name, "w");
  if (!is_file($new_fp_name))
    {
      echo "<p>File $new_fp_name doesn't exist, can you create this file?</p>";
      return;
    }


Greetings
