hello I would like to know how to handle certain heavy hitting IP

once in a while I look at the awstats logs and find some abnormally heavy hitting IPs
for example

Code:

ip68-231-211-53.oc.oc.cox.net	81 921	82 470	52.79 Mo	10 Jan 2017 - 07:48
c-5eeaaa91-74736162.cust.telenor.se	59 983	61 441	107.82 Mo	10 Jan 2017 - 03:41

Not only the page views are abnormally high for a single individual but the page/hit ratio is also abnormal

I don't think it is a ddos attack because I have ddos protection, I assume this activity is the result of some kind of script, not sure if malicious or not

I have two questions :
1. should I ban these IP
2. is there a way to automatically detect this kind of activity and ban the offenders?
