Re: Some people hate banana plants
The rumor around here is that banana plants attract roaches .
My aunt urged me not to plant them for this reason and that her sons bananas (a nice bordelon mat ) were full of roaches so they killed it with weed killer
I have naners everywhere and have never seen a roach near them.
In fact , I've never seen any insects other than one fuzzy beetle and 80,000,000 spider mites on my velutinas . There was also an army of predatory critters on the velutina for a short while . I think they ran out of mites .
