It's better to use a firewall than routing to block traffic, but you  
want to use one of these flags:

      -reject    RTF_REJECT     - emit an ICMP unreachable when matched
      -blackhole RTF_BLACKHOLE  - silently discard pkts (during updates)

Something like:

route add 192.168.10.1 localhost -reject

route delete 192.168.10.1
