Claim:
A biocidal structure for use with a roofing ridge vent, the structure comprising: a housing; a biocidal source carried by the housing; and a concealing structure disposed adjacent the biocidal source and composed of material other than the biocidal source to hide the biocidal source and minimize visibility of the ridge vent assembly on the roof, wherein the housing includes: a base having a first end for placing adjacent the ridge vent, and a spaced-apart second end; a diverter disposed on the base adjacent the first end and extending up from the base and towards the second end for directing water running off the ridge vent to flow across the base from the first end toward the second end; the biocidal source disposed on at least one of the base and the diverter; and a splash wall connected to the base at the first end for preventing water from entering the ridge vent.
