Hi,
Thank you for the tips on maintaining banana leaf furniture. I’ve exhausted all avenues to get help with my banana leaf chairs. I have a beetle or some insect that’s infected my chairs & are eating the rope leaving saw dust particles on my floor every day. Can you help? We have already sprayed my chairs with a common household insecticide but this has not stopped the problem. I live in Mackay QLD (Australia) which has high humidity in summer. I’ve been told the tropical areas can cause these problems with this type of furniture. I’m desperate for help.
Thank You
