A pet food dish effective in frustrating crawling insects from reaching food contained in the dish includes a cylindrical base section for resting on a support surface, and a concave-convex dish section which fits downward into a concave opening in the upper end of the cylindrical base section. The dish section has a downwardly depending annular flange which concentrically overlies the upper cylindrical wall of the base section, thus cooperating with the base section to produce a tortuous path for crawling insects attempting to travel from the support surface to food in the dish. In a preferred embodiment, disposable flexible strips coated on the outer surface with sticky insect-trapping adhesive is fastened circumferentially around the outer cylindrical wall of the cylindrical base section, the annular dish flange overlying the strip and preventing accidental contact with the adhesive. A scent attractant may be included in the adhesive coating to lure and trap flying as well as crawling insects.
