Linen fiber or something like this. Find a way to distribute them in the air, so they quickly build a cloud of at least 15m in diameter.

You could of course do this with any fiber, but you should make sure that it's cheap, available in huge amounts and, most importantly, not harmful to humans and putrescible so you don't have to clean up the mess. The fiber should also be strong enough to not be cut by the drone blades too easily. And the weight and surface area should be in a way that they can float in the air for long.

Not sure if linen fiber fulfills all of this. Kevlar would be strong but won't rot. Best would probably the fiber of spider webs, as they are strong and rot, but they are very expensive.

I would experiment with plant fibers like linen fiber, hemp fiber, cotton, etc. first, because they are so cheap and not harmful for health and environment
