Heat cables are about $15. That’s your cheapest option.

I have my heating cable hooked up to a thermostat so I can make sure my ants don't get cooked in the summer. I also turned down the heat on my thermostat for the winter. My ants don't hibernate but it still gets colder in the winter. Thermostats aren't necessary but the like ANTdrew said, at the least you'd need a heating cable which are about $15.

this was once 9.99, so wait for it to go down before you buy it: https://www.amazon.c...ding=UTF8&psc=1
