For some reason, a bunch of little ants have decided to cultivate a colony of white mealy bugs under the leaves of ONE of my banana plants. I have insecticide that I use on my palms but it is a systemic. Will that make it get into the fruit on the bananas? This banana has fruit as does another trunk on the same mat.

Suggestions?
