We had a similar issue to this via our work website, except it wasn't 5 a day it was closer to 600 a day. And there is no way that this was a person and not a bot doing it as when we put checking in place that does not slow down a person at all we dropped to getting 0 a day.

The solution we went for was to set up JustHumans: Eliminating Form Spam basically it presents 6 images and asks the user to click on one of them to submit the form. Each time the form is presented the images change.

It also doesn't make it very clear on the site, but you do get to use your own images as well, so you don't need to make their duck and fire engine images fit into your site theme somehow.

Overall it is a good system that screws over bots but doesn't inconvenience genuine users at all.
