sounds like you have an AMERICAN ALDER PSYLLID problem, my friend calls them lint bugs which I guess is pretty close. don't know how to get rid of them- but naming your problem is the first step.
AMERICAN ALDER PSYLLID- you might be able to find something to combat them at a home and garden store. good luck.

there is one more possible suspect here- WOOLEY APPLE APHID, these would be smaller than the psyllids I believe. these aphids feed on apple trees, hawthorn, mountain ash, pear , quince and sometimes elm trees. if these are the culprit- should be easy to get some aphid pesticide.
