The plurality of pickets of the fence attachment may be oriented in between the pickets of the existing fence and the fence attachment may be attached to the existing fence.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A fence attachment device comprising:
 at least one rail;   a plurality of pickets mounted to the at least one rail, wherein the plurality of pickets are substantially perpendicular relative to the rail; and   a plurality of attachment components on the at least one rail and oriented in between the plurality of pickets, wherein the attachment components are configured to secure the fence attachment device to an existing barrier.   
     
     
         2 . The fence attachment device of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of attachment components comprises an opening in the at least one rail configured to receive at least one screw. 
     
     
         3 . The fence attachment device of  claim 1 , wherein the existing barrier is selected from the group consisting of a fence, guardrail and railings. 
     
     
         4 . The fence attachment device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one rail comprises a first rail and a second rail, wherein the plurality of pickets are mounted to the first rail near a top of the plurality of pickets and the plurality of pickets are mounted to the second rail near a bottom of the plurality of pickets. 
     
     
         5 . The fence attachment device of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pickets are mounted to the at least one rail using a plurality of screws. 
     
     
         6 . A method of preventing small animals from passing through a fence comprising:
 providing a fence attachment comprising at least one rail; a plurality of pickets mounted to the at least one rail, wherein the plurality of pickets are substantially perpendicular relative to the rail; and a plurality of attachment components on the at least one rail and oriented in between the plurality of pickets, wherein the plurality of attachment components comprises an opening in the at least one rail;   aligning the fence attachment with the fence, wherein the plurality of pickets of the fence attachment are oriented in between a plurality of pickets of the fence; and   securing the fence attachment to the fence by screwing a screw through the opening in the at least one rail of the fence attachment and screwing the screw into the plurality of pickets of the fence.
