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.
