Put the banana into a plastic freezer bag and zip it sealed. This should keep out the ants and still allow the banana to ripen, which it will do quickly if it is in a warm room.

If the ants are so tiny that they can get through the bag's seal, you can put the banana inside a jar with a tight fitting lid. That should keep them out.

There are also ways to keep food on a dish in a pan surrounded by water but my experience is that the ants just float across and get the food anyway, so sealing it up is the only way i know to keep them off.

Let us know how you make out.

Good luck!
