Expert Response

Assuming your diagnosis is correct and it does look like this, this article from Wisconsin Extension would suggest 2 things: 1, You have missed the window for treatment as they suggest very early spring and 2, They have very little effect on plant health, are really more a cosmetic issue. https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/maple-gall-mites-eriophyidae/

I hope this is helpful information. Please always read and carefully follow the directions when using any chemical treatment.
