Diesel fuel is one thing I've found they don't like.

Once while doing some landscaping, I pulled a shrub out by the roots and found yellow jackets had a nest in the roots. They were not happy, and I got nailed 8 or 10 times.

I tried all sorts of stuff to pour down into the nest and nothing worked until I said to heck with the EPA and poured a couple gallons of diesel fuel down the hole. That killed them, and drove off what it didn't kill.

My Dad told a story about a great uncle of mine plowing with a walking plow and a team of horses about a hundred years ago. He plowed into a nest of yellow jackets and got stung so many times he dang near died.

So, to answer your question, you may try saturating yourself with the delicate aroma of diesel fuel and see if it works.
