Unknown Bug on banana
I posted this in the health forum, but figured I would post it here too to get some more eyes on it.
Hi Everybody, I was looking at my bananas in my sunroof yesterday and noticed these little things on the base of the psuedostem. I sprayed them with neem oil hoping it would take care of them, but tonight I checked and they were in a bigger colony on the psuedostem then before. They are only at the base and in the soil. They move quicker then lightning. I thought I saw something that looked like maybe an ant but bigger then these little guys. I just bought this house 2 years ago and was told they had a big problem with water ants any chance they may be juvenile water ants. Any help on getting rid of them of and ID would be appreciated.
