Hi there!

I`m looking for information on biological or chemical control of aphids
on maples and linden.or any other kind of information on how to control
aphid populations. If you have personal experience or references on that
topic it would be greatly appreciated.

No need to go chemical. When you are already confronted with a large number 
of aphids you can kill most by a solution of 10% soft soap and water. Just 
spray a mist on them. Natural predetors of aphids are ladybugs and hoover 
flys, their larves love to eat aphids. Hooverflys are attrackted by open 
flowers like marigolds (and africans if that is what they are called in 
english). Try to grow some next year, you'll see that if helps to control 
the number of aphids. BTW, this kind of problems is often discussed in 
rec.gardens, you might take a look down there.
