Need help blocking a crawler

Hi,

One of my clients website has a lot of traffic due to a chinese crawler,

every day constantly up to 1000 visits.

It´s the agressive Baidu crawler coming from this ip range:

180.76.5.x
180.76.6.x

Besides the page crawling, it is really nervous to see how many attempts this crawler

makes on login.php

However this client has no business and no clients in china.

He wants me to block this crawler. I tried with robots.txt

but this crawler does not seem to respect what is configured

in robots.txt

I need something more powerfull with a .htaccess file.

Has anyone an example .htaccess file how to block

this ip range and do I put this in the root public.html ?
