There are bio solutions, e.g. my city puts mosquito-larva-killing bacteria in the river and the lakes.

It works okay, but they are unable target _all_ water surface. They use drones, they give out these bacteria to people so they put it in the rainwater tanks, etc.

It sounds more like a kind of biological warfare. Does this bacterium pose any harm to humans? Or is it only harmful to mosquito larvae?
