Aphids are usually not a serious problem, unless you have a very young
maple and an extensive infestation. If you do, I've had good success
against aphids with BT- bacillus thurigensis. I was originally
going after other pests, particularly cabbage worms, and discovered that it
radically reduced the aphid population as well. BT is a very safe
biological insecticide, fairly inexpensive, & easy to use and spray
on. I also had very good success with Safer insecticidal soap on large
infestations on my tomatoes & broccoli.
Both PlanetNatural.com & GardensAlive.com have a good range
of bio-control products, including beneficial insects. You should be able
to find several very different kinds of aphid controls that suit your needs
there.
