A wind detection device, comprising:
- an enclosure comprising an interior cavity, a flexible wall, and a mounting structure, the mounting structure comprising a male hook, pin, post, or extension;
- a dispensing tube inserted into and retained in the enclosure, the dispensing tube having a first and a second end and comprising a longitudinal hole extending the length of the dispensing tube from the first end to the second end;
- and
- a mounting receiver comprising an adhesive surface and a female hole or opening, wherein the mounting receiver is configured to be attached to an object by means of the adhesive surface, and configured to receive and hold the mounting structure of the enclosure by means of insertion of the male hook, pin, post, or extension into the female hole or opening;
- wherein, when a particulate substance is contained within the interior cavity, pressure on the exterior of the enclosure causes air in the interior cavity to be compressed, forcing a mixture of air and particulate matter from the interior cavity into the first end of the dispensing tube and out of the second end of the dispensing tube.
