That's pretty much what the dog owners I warned said before their precious pets died.
I see from your point of view. I manage over 100k worth of forested property that could be cheaply treated with the stuff. However, I've chosen to avoid the potential of contaminating ground water. I'm applying safe, less effective treatments. Its not as quick, but is working while we find the best solution. That's just me. Most would do what's easiest, cheapest... I've studied toxicology and agriculture and the health "care" systems enough to lead me to question the "authorities" whenever they have something to sell thats "safe and effective".
I'm just suggesting to experiment with other safer options.
You said that essential oils are measured in minutes not hours. If that's the experience with your recipe, perhaps you should try something else. I've had success for decades for some strange reason and have hiked dense forests and fields. Could I get some disease? Of course. I've also seen lots of people with chronic, as well as single use, chemical exposures end up tragically with dementia and some with torturous deaths. These were all recommended chemicals by the "scientific authorities" too.
We agree to disagree and hang our own hang so to speak.
We will continue to use what we think best meets our needs and live with those results.
I wish you the best.

Questioning the Authorities...examples:
Like I told a guy from the power line clearing company. He told me that the glyphosate(round up) was safe enough to drink. I told him to take all of the shots and beer chasers he wants, but he's NOT spraying it on my property!
That company lost their long standing contract (over 10 years) after his boss chewed his hide out.
I've seen local planes spray for insects. Of course they said SAFE and effective. This IS admittedly a public use and not anyone here's personal use. Thats your right to use what you want on yourself IMHO. But I'm interested in environmental polutants. The fake media mocks us constantly.
Monsanto: chemical company that affects us all....
Glyphosate (Round Up weed killer) has been considered by their research to be so safe that it should be sprayed directly on our foods. You can find papers that will doubtless convince those looking for "credible science."
After all this head lobbyist for Monsanto (now Bayer) advertised it for years as an acceptable beverage with all the scientific clout that they could buy. The FDA approved it for a 10X fold increase in safe use a few years ago AFTER it gained a reputation for causing breast and reproductive cancers.
