A vent barrier system may include an insert and a cover. The insert may be dimensioned to be inserted within a flood vent duct through a first opening such that side faces of the insert contact sidewalls of the duct and thereby provide an insulative seal between the first opening and a second opening of the duct when inserted therein. The may be configured to be attached to the insert and be dimensioned to be selectively securable to vent at the first opening. The cover may be manipulatable to selectively remove the insert from the duct.

1. A vent barrier system comprising: an insert comprising side faces extending between a first end and a second end of the insert, wherein the insert is dimensioned to be inserted within a flood vent duct through a first opening such that the side faces contact sidewalls of the duct and provide an insulative seal between the first opening and a second opening of the duct when inserted therein;a cover having a first side and a second side configured to be attached to the first face of the insert, wherein the cover is dimensioned to be selectively securable to the duct at the first opening, wherein the cover is manipulatable to selectively remove the insert from the duct; anda door positioned at the second opening of the duct;wherein the insert is dimensioned to extend within the duct and prevent the door positioned at the second opening of the duct from opening in a first direction when inserted therein, wherein the insert is dimensioned such that a second face is located adjacent to the door when inserted within the duct to prevent the door from moving from a closed position to an open position, wherein the door is configured to open in a second direction when the insert is inserted therein. 2. The vent barrier system of claim 1, wherein the second side of the cover is attached to the first face of the insert by an adhesive. 3. The vent barrier system of claim 1, further comprising a retention member configured for selectively securing the cover at the first opening of the duct. 4. The vent barrier system of claim 3, wherein the retention member comprises one of a latch and a bolt movable to secure and release the cover from the first opening of the duct. 5. The vent barrier system of claim 4, wherein one of the duct, the cover, and the insert include a retention slot positioned to receive the latch or bolt when moved to secure the cover at the first opening of the duct. 6. The vent barrier system of claim 1, wherein the second side of the cover includes an outer perimeter surface configured to seal with a surface extending along an exterior perimeter of the first opening when the insert is inserted within the duct. 7. The vent barrier system of claim 6, wherein one of the outer perimeter surface of the second side of the cover and the surface extending along the exterior perimeter of the first opening comprise a gasket configured to compressingly seal with the adjacent surface when the cover is secured to the duct at the first opening. 8. The vent barrier system of claim 1, wherein the cover includes a handle positioned at the first side of the cover configured to be gripped by a user to manipulate the cover. 9. The vent barrier system of claim 1, further comprising a duct adaptor configured to adapt the vent to the dimensions of at least one of the cover and the insert. 10. The vent barrier system of claim 9, wherein the duct adaptor is configured to be positioned within the duct and form at least a portion of the sidewalls of the duct such that the sidewalls sealing engage the side faces of insert for a tight fit when the insert is inserted within the duct. 11. The vent barrier system of claim 9, wherein the duct adaptor includes a flange configured to be positioned along an exterior perimeter of the first opening, and wherein the flange comprises a surface configured to engage the second face of the cover and form a seal therebetween when the cover is secured to the vent at the first opening. 12. The vent barrier system of claim 11, wherein the duct adaptor further includes a recess dimensioned to receive the cover, and wherein the recess includes a base comprising the flange. 13. A flood vent barrier, the barrier comprising: an insert comprising side faces extending between a first end and a second end of the insert, wherein the insert is dimensioned to be inserted within a flood vent duct through a first opening such that the side faces contact sidewalls of the duct and provide an insulative seal between the first opening and a second opening of the duct when inserted therein; anda fluid modifiable material forming at least a portion of the insert, wherein the fluid modifiable material is configured to be modified when contacted by water such that the modification occurs within 30 minutes or less after being contacted by water and removes the insulative seal provided by the insert to allow water to flow through the duct between the first opening and the second opening, wherein the fluid modifiable material comprises one or more of a sugar, a starch, and a combination of a corn starch and a polyvinyl, wherein the fluid modifiable material is configured to deteriorate when contacted by water such that a dimension of the insert reduces to allow the insert to be dislodged from the vent by water flowing into the duct through at least one of the first opening and the second opening, wherein the fluid modifiable material is configured to dissolve when contacted by water. 14. An sealing kit for providing a substantially air tight seal between a first opening and a second opening of a flood vent duct, the kit comprising: a duct adaptor dimensioned to be positioned at the first opening, the duct adaptor having sidewalls defining an interior perimeter of the duct and extending from a first end positioned at the first opening to a second end positioned toward the second opening of the duct, an abutment extending interiorly from the second end of at least one sidewall, wherein the sidewalls and abutment define a compartment dimensioned to receive an insert therein;a cover defining a rim configured to be selectively secured at the first end of the duct adaptor to retain the insert when the insert is positioned within the compartment, wherein the insert provides a substantially air tight seal between the first end of the duct adaptor and the second opening of the duct when the insert is retained within the compartment; andthe insert, wherein the insert comprises a fluid modifiable material configured to one of deteriorate and dissolve within 30 minutes or less after being contacted by water present at one of the first end and the second end of the duct adaptor to remove the substantially air tight seal to allow water to flow through the duct, wherein the fluid modifiable material comprises one or more of a sugar, a starch, and a combination of a corn starch and a polyvinyl. 15. The kit of claim 14, further comprising a retainer mechanism configured to selectively secure the cover at the first end of the duct adaptor, wherein the retainer mechanism comprises one of an extendable bolt, a latch, and a slot configured to receive a retention member.
