Get a decent noise gate. The Behringer Intelligate (might be a different name) is for the money an amazing unit if all you need is a noise gate.

BEHRINGER: XR2000

A true downward expander/gate will be able to clamp out huge amounts of background noise and do it as transparently as possible.

The big diff vs the simple VOX type on/off switch gates is that they have a gradual ratio for clamping down and opening, which makes them a lot more natural sounding when you clamp them down hard.

A used Symetrix 528e would be a great score for this and give you a mic pre, compressor and parametric EQ in addition to the gate it has.
