1. A barrier device for obstructing entry travel routes into enclosed and semi-enclosed spaces, comprising: a solid barrier material with no spaces and gaps, sized to fit adjacent to an attachment portion which is sized to fit between a fixture and a fixed-permanent surface in a room, the fixture including an attachment point between shower faucet handles and the surface portion, the barrier material substantially closing off a passageway along where crawling arthropods enter the room, the solid barrier material including a disc shape with a center through-hole therethrough for fitting adjacent to the attachment point between the shower faucet handles and the surface portion, and the fixed-permanent surface being selected from at least one of: a floor, wall, and ceiling; and a separate arthropod repellant substance associated with the solid barrier material for deterring the crawling arthropods from entering into the room along the passageway, the barrier material further preventing and blocking airflow from passing therethrough.
