Blocking Google DNS

On my RT-BE92U I have created to static routes to block Google DNS. Basically they look like this:

8.8.8.8 255.255.255.255 192.168.50.1 2 LAN

8.8.4.4 255.255.255.255 192.168.50.1 2 LAN

But for some reason I'm seeing that doesn't block anything. I can still ping either of Google's DNS servers. What gives?
