Black Fly On Acer

Question

I have an acer tree in a pot. It dried out last year but it started back lovely buds this spring . I fed it with a seaweed feed about two weeks ago. There are now tiny little black flies on the leaves eating it – they’re tiny little things and on the under side of the leaves. What can i do to save it?
