Abstract: A stand or platform is disclosed herein having a barrel or dish supporting base with four legs elevating the barrel or dish from the ground. A pan or individual containers insertably receive the legs of the base and are positioned in spaced-apart relationship with respect to the opposing inner wall surfaces of the pan or containers. A fluid medium is carried in the pan or containers providing a moat preventing the travel of insects and pests from crawling between the pan or container and the base legs. Soapsuds, poison or other inhibitors may be mixed with the fluid medium and an adhesive strip may be used to release the barrel or dish onto the base.
