One of the most dread units to face especially as Terran. Terran players usually start out with Marines. Bane lings can take out groups of Marines at once. Zerg players love to get Bane lings early in the game after expanding early instead of getting Roaches.
They can be used to break down walls. Terran players always should wall off facing a Zerg player or else they can easily win by sending Zerglings to harass the SCVs before they have any real defense.
In order to counter Bane lings early in the game as Terran you should be getting Marauders and the Concussive Shell Upgrade. This slows them down making it much easier for your units to kill.
Marauders are great against Banelings also because they are armored units making them much less vulnerable to the splash damage than Marines. Having Marauders shooting down the Bane lings before they even reach your wall is a great way to defend from the Paneling bust.
Other great units to have against Zerg players are Hellions. I find that a powerful build would be to get two Barracks with Tech Labs for Marauder production on top of a Factory with a Reactor for the double the Hellions.
These units are great against Zerg ground and it takes them some time before getting Mutualisms since they first have to tech up to a Lair before the Spire.
Hellions can easily shoot the Bane lings and pull back before reaching your army. If your Zerg opponent were to go for Roaches then switching the Factory with one of the Tech Labs is great because you will want to get Siege Tanks to counter them.
