What did you expect by leaving ac all over? The copperheads are probably one of the most prolific species in your area and you just gave them the means to explode in population. by chance how long has your ac been out? The best way to lower the number of coppers would be to remove all the ac and see the post above about triming and tidying up the property. Or again not to be offensive take your role as god and start creating habbitat for the other snakes your looking for, Import crayfish for the water snakes maybe cut down some trees over the creek for basking areas.clear out more of the densly wooded areas to attract pines and easterns,while your at it start a collony of dear mice for everyone else to feed on. Maybe construct a huge hillside with a nice rocky southern facing slope far from your home. Or you could deal with what you created and not throw out anymore ac and be happy with the fact that you helped creat a perfect habitat for coppers.

And now your using insectacide to kill bugs but leave snakes alone, just another enviromental factor your toying with.

I don't know exactly where I'm going with this but your not going to get rid of the coppers without getting rid of the other snakes aswell.

Awesome pics by the way.
