Here I am giving you some steps to filter spam traffic:

Turn on "Bot Filtering"
You can find this in "Admin-> View Settings". Tick the box and save.
Go to: Admin-> All Filters-> Add Filter
Give the Filter a name - Example like "Ban Country Name"
Then: 'Select Custom Filter Type-> Click Exclude->Select Country in Filter Field-> Enter Country name in the Filter Pattern Box.

There are multiple types of bots that crawl website data as per their requirement. For e.g., There are good bots such as Google bots that crawl your website data for the lawful reason or you can say that Google has right or law to crawl your website data. In contrast to this bad bots target to hack your website data or tries to harm your website.
