Hello, cr33p.
The best way to block unwanted bot traffic from accessing your site at all is to block them in your .htaccess file.

If you want to redirect specific referring domains via your .htaccess file, you will have to search for an appropriate solution online. Just to remind you - blocking / redirecting all traffic from certain trades will also include any legit traffic coming from those sources.
There is an alternative method, that might do the job: only block IPs you consider suspicious by adding them to TE3's "IP block list". Traffic coming from IPs listed on the "IP block list" is counted under system trade "blocked", and (by default) doesn't get skimmed / sent to trades. It is sent to content. If you would prefer to send this traffic to a specified URL, enable / edit outgoing redirections for the system trade "Blocked".
