There are a number of natural products that kill Spider Mites. And then there are chemical products for indoor use like Bayer, Seven, etc. Just make sure if you have children or pets, you spray the plant down outside and let it drip dry before it comes back in. Neem Oil is a non-chemical product that seems to be safe to use often, but it won't do much when your infected that bad. You'll probably need a stronger chemical product for now.

From your pics, it looks like your plant is definitely in need of more light and a pebble tray for adding humidity would be very beneficial.

Just be sure to check back to see what products the other members recommend too!
Good luck with you banana,
