ABSTRACT:
An improved animal feeder in the nature of a dish or bowl for feeding pets and which includes a pest barrier to preclude crawling pests from infestation of the food or liquid to be ingested by the animal. In one embodiment, the invention includes the use of a moat with liquid as a barrier to preclude traversal of crawling insects and, in another embodiment, the invention includes a cartridge or pad containing an insect barricade. In one embodiment, the barricade may adopt the form of a very tacky composition, which effectively entraps insects which come into contact with the composition. In another embodiment, the barricade may adopt the form of a insect repellant. Preferably, the insect repellant is incorporated directly into the entrapping composition to reduce evaporation thereof, and which also makes the device more effective. The animal feeder essentially includes an upper bowl with a lower level receptacle containing either the moat of liquid or the insect repellant.
