Thankfully we don't get them around here. For future reference I've found that a bit of diluted washing up liquid works wonders on lots of my plants as it creates a film over the mites. A couple of applications should clear things up but remember to apply again about a week or two later as the eggs left will start to hatch. It's more of a preventative than anything. I havn't tried this with my banana plants yet so probably best wait to see if any of the experts can advise but it sure works for my peppers and chilllis. I prefer to use this method as I don't want nasty chemicals on my fruit.

Good luck with your next try
