1. A flying drone-based method of mosquito amelioration, the flying drone-based method comprising:
- deploying a flying drone over an area;
receiving, by one or more processors, sensor readings that identify a presence of water in the area;
determining, by one or processors, a confidence level L that the water in the area is stagnant water; and
directing, by one or more processors, the flying drone to perform an amelioration action against potential mosquito larvae in the stagnant water based on a value of the determined confidence level L exceeding a predefined value.

Abstract
A method, system, and/or computer program product ameliorates mosquito populations. A flying drone is deployed over an area. Sensor readings that identify a presence of water in the area are received, and one or more processors determine a confidence level L that the water in the area is stagnant water. The flying drone is then directed to perform an amelioration action against the mosquito larvae based a value of the determined confidence level L.
