Use a perl utility called "sshd_sentry":

http://linuxmafia.com/pub/linux/security/sshd_sentry/

It will allow you to block the hosts which abuse your sshd.
Additionally, please consider mailing abuse@ the sending ISP, especially
if it is in an English speaking country.  Usually they care that one of
their machines is probing for vulnerabilities.
