We use a Kane heat mat too and in one corner above that is a ceramic heat emitter. CHEs are more expensive than heat bulbs but they last for years instead of months or weeks, so to me they are worth the extra money.
Before we had the Kane we tried a space heater but it got too hot in her home, we couldn't seem to control the heat the way we needed to. And then there was the problem of not having a place to put it where she couldn't knock it over.
That was 2002 the first year we had her, her home was newly built & we were improvising. We ordered the Kane when we couldn't make use of a space heater.
We've had the Kane for 5 years now, I love that thing.
Never had a problem with ants, and it's easy to clean.
