Just off I-94 a couple miles from the Wisconsin line, in Minnesota. The mail calls it Stillwater, but the city of Stillwater is five miles north of here.
If you want to test your applicator, just grab the insulated part of the ground wire, and wave the clip near the metal screen. Spark means it's working, but there's no way to really quantify it. I wouldn't risk checking it with a meter. The fancy Noch unit also uses a 9 V battery, but I still think it doesn't generate the same level of charge as the fly swatter. The fly swatter just uses a couple AA batteries, but it is intended to FRY bugs. It might be the difference between 10,000 V and 100,000 V both at very low current. The reason for this is probably safety related, and why the hobby versions can get a safety rating.
This is the Noch. It's very pretty.
This is my ugly homemade unit, but I'll take function over form on this one.
