Those are aphids and they came from the maple. I would simply "do nothing" as they will be eliminated by winter.
They are easily killed with easily obtainable insecticide such as "sevin", google it, should they return next year, or as was stated by Oregon Quartermaster in his post above, ladybugs love to eat aphids and would be a very good solution if it where not close to cold weather now.
Keep an eye on the maple next year. if in the spring or mid summer you see any of these little buggers, have the tree sprayed or order the ladybugs and apply them to the tree by employing some local kids to climb it and place the ladybugs to the upper trunk and limbs. The ladybugs will find the aphids and devour them all.
