This utility model relates to a trash container being characterized by a provision of an ant isolating moat to prevent ants from having access to food grade items disposed in trash containers. The trash container generally comprises a hollow body with a cover, a moat basin having a concentrically provided narrower female ring, a male projection, provided at the hollow body, said male projection being accommodated in the female ring to thereby define a channel which functions as a moat when filled with liquid, and a moat basin accommodating rim having a beveled lower portion functioning as wall spacer.
