defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool TRUE

Helps a bit.
- you can also delete them recursively with
  
  find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -print -delete
  
  (adapted from this script)
  
  Why is there a * in front of DS_Store?
  Seems like fastly made a small mistake find . -name '.DS_Store' -type f -print -delete would just match the exact file and is faster.
- Don't forget:
  
  defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteUSBStores -bool true
