We have had wasps? bees? do the same on the South side of one of our buildings.  They went right through 1/3" to 1/2" of dried test lime plaster that had been troweled hard and smooth.  The tubes they built were sometimes 2-3 inches long, curved almost like a hook.  Haven't come up with a solution besides more layers of lime plaster.
