Default Use of Copper

Has anyone used copper as a way to kill pests? My terrarium is overrun with tiny centipedes that are getting larger each day and I have a ton of small snails eating my Dracula lotax buds. I tried using dry ice to kill everything, but they are still there.

I was thinking of adding a tiny amount of liquid copper (used in treating tropical fish with ich) into my misting reservoir so that a little copper is added each day. Has anyone tried this? I don't want to hurt my plants and am curious about how much to use.
