Imperial Japan had their own rodent army they plan to use against the US. They wanted to release plague infected insects into the population where they would first attack rodents stateside. They would be released via clay pots carried by balloons. It was to be an attack on the West Coast of the continental US

There was a TV program about this several years ago. I guess it was on “The History Channel”.
I think the gist of it was that it worked but was not that much better than just dropping incendiary bombs plus it was a whole lot more trouble.

Judges 15:4 & 5:
Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned the foxes tail to tail and put one torch in the middle between two tails. 5 When he had set fire to the torches, he released the foxes into the standing grain of the Philistines, thus burning up both the shocks and the standing grain, along with the vineyards and groves...
