It does work and will work on any plant including your banana plants

Common cooking oils work fine as long as you follow the recipe.
There is also a great Neem oil recipe out there also.

A great source of homemade stuff that usually works is published by a fellow named https://www.jerrybaker.com/tips-and-tonics.

There are a lot of great recipes out there on the web.

You can use common household materials and you will see results and save some money too .
