Default Re: Pest question...

Neem or Stylet oil should help keep these at bay. JMS farms sells stylet oil. I have 5 gallons of it and only use about an ounce per application, though I have never used it on bananas so you may want to test it first. I have used it effectively against Japanese Beetles, aphids, spider mites and other pests on grape vines.
Neem can be bought at most garden centers.
