Plant some Nepeta cataria nearby.

That ought to do the trick!

That’s more of a deterrent to keep the rodents away.
Don’t rush, take time and enjoy life and food.

Nah!  Nepeta cataria is catnip, doancha know?  So it should actually attract more cats right to the area of the banana if the catnip is planted close-by. 

Now tell me, if you will: What self-respecting rodent is going to wanna be anywhere near around where there's a bevy of frolicking, intoxicated cats???

Still just sayin' (and a tad late for April Fool's Day) . . . .
