Default Dew problem

What do you seasoned observers do about dew? OK, condensation to avoid the rhyme.
Living here in NE Pennsylvania, I've had a number of nights now that looked as if they were going to be fine seeing, only to have every surface and lens dripping with dew after only a short while.
I've considered plugging my wife's hair dryer into an extension cord and keeping it on hand to give a quick blast of warm air to the optics. Have you tried that?
I'm not ready yet to purchase a dew kit, but do they work well?
Thanks in advance for any help.
