Well, I personally would just attempt to take it up to 4.5V and see what happens. If it burns it out, that is only a $3 experiment right?Anyone know how much voltage a Harbor Freight fly swatter can handle. I would like to increase the 3 volts for more performance.

Ha he ha, that would be nice. But first, yes, they go "on sale" at Harbor Freight for $2.99 all the time. Then No, one has to remove the two wire fly swatter meshes and replace them with something like a metal tea strainer. This is an old trick for building a static applicator, but Harbor Freight has made it affordable to everyone. As so - https://www.thespruce.com/build-grass-applicator-model-train-scenery-2381741Thanks but how does a "Bug Killer" act as a Grass Applicator? What do you do, turn it on and "wave it" over your ground cover?
OH, maybe another use for the liquid electrical tape we are talking about in the other thread. Zap preventer.I can vouch for these. I built one and the hardest part was finding a suitable container to use on the "business" end. I didn't want to use an all-metal strainer because if I accidentally touch it I could get zapped, so I ended up using a plastic container with the lid cut out and mesh epoxied in.
