[Terminator] why doesn't skynet use bio weapons?

In all the scenes I've seen from the movies (I've just re watched the first two) the robots are using pretty traditional guns, rocketry, and some flame throwers. Why doesn't skynet try to cook up some mega flu or just release smallpox into resistance strongholds? And since dogs seem able to detect terminators why doesn't skynet at least make a dog flu to get rid of that threat?

tl;dr: Skynet never had access to bioweapons.

Before Judgement Day, Skynet wasn't given control over any bioweapons, because they're useless in the fast-paced intercontinental war Skynet is designed for.

After Judgement Day, all the labs that had samples of small pox/super ebola/etc would've self-destructed (Source: The Walking Dead).
