1. A moated system for repelling insects, comprising:
a first body comprising a lip extending substantially perpendicularly along an upper side of a rim, wherein the rim encloses a central area;
a second body comprising a moat channel extending about a lower side of the rim when the first and second bodies are joined together along the lower side of the first body and the upper side of the second body;
wherein the moat channel is adapted to be filled with liquid to prevent ants from passing the moat channel and entering the central area of the first body;
wherein the lip extends to the moat channel when the first and second bodies are joined;
a filling port disposed through the upper side of the rim and positioned over the moat channel when the first and second bodies are joined; and
wherein the filling port comprises a funnel that is secured thereto and tapers towards the moat channel;
wherein a lowermost end of the funnel protrudes into the moat channel, such that filling of the moat channel causes the liquid to fill the funnel before overflowing the moat channel as a visual indicator of fullness.
