North Fork marshes will be treated for mosquito larvae Tuesday, Suffolk County officials announced.

The county’s Division of Vector Control will treat two areas in Greenport: Pipes Neck Creek and Pipes Cove.

Aerial spraying is also planned for Crescent Duck Farm in Aquebogue.

Spraying will be completed by helicopter from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. using Vectobac 12 AS and Altosid liquid pesticides, officials said.

If weather conditions prevent the spraying, treatment will continue on the next suitable day, according to a county statement.
