You might find this easier to achieve with IPtables rules than Squid:

You'd want to restrict connections to your Squid port (probably 3128) to be a
compromise between "lots in a few seconds" to allow for normal browser
parallel accesses, and "lots and lots over several minutes" to block the
accesses you say are continually refreshing.
