Since you're running WordPress, here are two steps you could take to avoid spams.

Steps:

1) Activate akismet. Visit this link to know more.

2) once logged into your site's dashboard go to -> Settings -> Discussion.

Then under Other comment settings check the checkbox that says Users must be registered and logged in to comment. After that save your changes and see if your spams persist.

3) Make sure you don't have any plugin that runs a MySQL insert query. Try disabling all plugins and see the result.

Hope that helps.
