have you seen spam prevention plugins - see also replies at this thread
Have a look at CloudFlare, it offers good layers of protection from spammers even on the free plan.

https://www.cloudflare.com/

Also as .m. said check the list of SPAM prevention plugins.

If you do end up signing up for CloudFlare to help, you could also look at blocking China in your threat control panel (all visitors from that region would receive a captcha & this is pretty effective at stopping bots).
