Abstract
A baseboard and insect capturing assembly includes a base panel having a first side, a second side, a top edge, a bottom edge, and a pair of end edges. The base has a plurality of openings extending therethrough for receiving fasteners to be extended through a wall. A trough for holding insecticide is attached to the first side of the base panel. The trough generally extends between the end edges and is positioned generally between the top edge and the bottom edge. A covering is positionable over the base. The covering has an outer surface, an inner surface, an upper edge and a lower edge. The lower edge has a plurality notches therein. A securing assembly is attached to the first side of the base panel and the inner surface of the covering for releasably securing the covering to the base panel.

A floorboard assembly for positioning on a wall surface, said floorboard assembly being adapted for receiving insects, said:
- assembly comprising:
- a base panel having a first side, a second side, a top edge, a bottom edge, and a pair of end edges, said base panel having a plurality of openings extending therethrough, wherein each of a plurality of fasteners is removably extendable through one of said openings and into the wall surface;
- a trough being attached to said first side of said base panel, said trough generally extending between said end edges and being positioned generally between said top edge and said bottom edge;
- a covering being positionable over said base panel, said covering having an outer surface, an inner surface, an upper edge and a lower edge, wherein said lower edge is positioned adjacent to a floor surface when said upper edge is positioned adjacent to said top edge of said panel, said lower edge having a plurality notches therein;
- and
- a securing assembly being attached to said first side of said base panel and said inner surface of said covering for releasably securing said covering to said base panel.
A floorboard assembly for positioning on a wall surface, said floorboard assembly being adapted for receiving insects, said assembly comprising:
- a base panel having a first side, a second side, a top edge, a bottom edge, and a pair of end edges, said base panel having a plurality of openings extending therethrough, wherein each of a plurality of fasteners is removably extendable through one of said openings and into the wall surface;
- a trough being attached to said first side of said base panel, said trough generally extending between said end edges and being positioned generally between said top edge and said bottom edge, said trough having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough;
- a covering being positionable over said base panel, said covering having an outer surface, an inner surface, an upper edge and a lower edge, wherein said lower edge is positioned adjacent to a floor surface when said upper edge is positioned adjacent to said top edge of said panel, said lower edge having a plurality notches therein, said upper edge forming a flange for positioning over said top edge;
- a securing assembly being attached to said first side of said base panel and said inner surface of said covering for releasably securing said covering to said base panel, said securing assembly including a plurality of first mating portions and a second mating portion, each of said first mating portions being attached to said first side, said first mating portions being spaced from each other, said second mating portion being attached to said inner surface and extending between a pair of opposite edges of said cover, said second mating portion being positioned such that said second mating portion may be coupled to each of said first mating portions when said top edge is adjacent to said upper edge;
- and
- a foot portion being attached to and extending away from said bottom edge of said base panel, said foot portion abutting said inner surface when said covering is secured to said base panel.
