You can try knocking down a nest and then running, but I don't think any human is faster than an angry wasp. One would not have time to sniff anything coming at you at that speed and would be too angry to be deterred by any scent.

Building a big bonfire and holding a smoking log under a nest could be what you need. Not sure if that's just a bee thing or also works on wasps/hornets.

I think it would be necessary to know exactly what kind of critter you're dealing with before any specific advice can be applied.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
