I don't know how to do it with code since I haven't worked with Episerver.Forms, but since they are just blocks, you should be able to uncheck the "Available in edit view" option in Admin.

Just remember that you will need to do this in all envirnoments(test/stage/prod) so it's better to do it with code, but I don't know how/if it's possible right now.

Yeah thats why i wanted to do it with code in the first place.. but this is better then not being able to disable them at all :)

This should work

var contentTypeRepository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentTypeRepository>();
var type = contentTypeRepository.Load(typeof(TextareaElementBlock));
type = (ContentType)type.CreateWritableClone();
type.IsAvailable = false;
contentTypeRepository.Save(type);
