Hello Tiffany and Midnight Gardener!

Apologies for the late response. Many thanks for all the good advice.
I was thinking it was SMs because of the webs formed at the tips of the leaves.
I have very little experience with pests other than the dreaded fungus gnat.
Since the indication that aphids do the eating then I am leaning towards a double infestation because I have never seen aphids make webs.

I will stop the misting and add more perlite to the soil.
I think I will just go ahead and cut off the leaves on the banana.
It does grow quickly indoors and I can continue the systemic treatment.

It drops down to the mid 30's here in Northern VA.

Thanks again for the suggestions.
