Oh come on. One low level EMP Strike would clear the swarm. Then you're done. If you didn't want to do that? well a net of piano wire would make any airborne drone toast. Think tactically instead of strategically. I'm not even including accidents like a tornado or a hurricane....or a downdraft.
EMP is not an easily accessible technology, so their usage is limited. While they'd probably be effective, the cost to damage ratio might be quite bad.
Setting up piano wires only to eventually entangle drones is quite bothersome and probably useless - especially if they are detected before they do anything. It would catch one drone at best, before others are alerted. The total territory you'd need to wire, and that at a high altitude would make that near impossible.
Tornadoes, hurricanes, downdrafts are rather rare phenomenons. Weather intel could counter these issues - but sensors might provide sufficient warning as well.

I will consider these potentials flaws.

See? We are getting somewhere! It's a good start!
