An adjustable barrier for use with a building having a door frame with a door frame opening, a track assembly, and a garage door positioned between the track assembly to selectively cover the door frame opening, the adjustable barrier comprising a barrier bracket and an extendable barrier panel. The adjustable barrier is adapted to seal off a garage door gap located between the garage door and the door frame, and is positioned between the door frame and the track to create a barrier preventing a pest from bypassing the garage door and entering the building through the garage door gap. The extendable barrier panel selectively extends and retracts to adjust to the distance between the track and the door frame, and may further be tapered to allow the adjustable barrier to maintain contact with the track when the track curves away from the door frame.
An adjustable barrier for use with a building having an interior space and a door frame standing upon a ground surface, the door frame having a door frame top and door frame sides comprising a first door frame side and a second door frame side, while the door frame top, the first and second door frame sides, and the ground surface define a door frame opening, the door frame further having a door frame inner wall facing the interior space, the building further having a garage door and a pair of tracks, the pair of tracks are each positioned opposite to each other proximate to either door frame side within the interior space, and each track extends upwardly from the ground surface and has a track plate and a pair of rails which project from the track plate towards the other track, the garage door has a garage door front face and a garage door inner face disposed towards the interior space, and is movably attached between the pair of tracks and selectively covers the door frame opening, the garage door is positioned within the interior space such that a door gap is created between the garage door front face and a plane defined by the door frame inner wall, whereby the door gap allows a pest to bypass the garage door and enter the interior space, the adjustable barrier comprising:
