Need image verification on my page

Hi, I have a form on my lawn care website where people can request a free estimate (address, phone, property size etc.) Recently it has been getting hammered with spam and filling up my inbox. Would anyone be able to recommend a good verification box that is easy to install on my site so I can stop these bots or whatever they are called from sending me hundreds of messages a day.
Thanks in advance
Greg

  • I've been using PHP Form Captcha Validation at
    PHP Form Validation - Captcha - PHP Form Mail (not an affiliate).

    It's worked well for my needs.
  • Hello Greg,
    I just visited your site and I see you have .html files and you are using some Javascript to validate the form fields. Is that working for you to cut down on the spam? If you still want to add captcha, take a look at captcha.net for a free service called reCaptcha. Or take a look at this tutorial,

    HTML contact form with captcha

    Let me know if that helps. There are also free plugins for WordPress and other platforms, but it looked to me like you had more of a static set of web pages. Interested to know what changes you make. Thank you.
