You can create a filter that always redirect to a page with an error message when you detect the IP addresses you want to block:

@includebeer, he's using CodeIgniter 3.
You can check when they access the site by using CodeIgniter's ip_address() method.
Store the blocked IP's in the database load them on startup into an array then get the
users ip using ip_address() and loop through the blocked ip array to see if it's in there.

Option 1: Store in database and upon reading them - store them in a cache engine e.g. Redis for X time.
Option 2: Store them in PHP-file.
You can use hooks for both options.
If you don't want to display any message just terminate it with exit;.

Your .htaccess will be read on any new request. So you can block new ip-adressers with it.
