The Central Coast's national parks (Brisbane Water, Bouddi, Wyrrabalong) and bushland reserves sustain large termite populations that regularly enter residential areas, particularly in interface suburbs. Angophora, Eucalyptus, and Melaleuca (paper bark) trees, all common native species on the Central Coast, are important food sources for termite colonies and are often present in established Central Coast gardens. Funnel-web spiders are present across the Central Coast and surrounding hinterland, the Sydney funnel-web (Atrax robustus) is found throughout the greater Sydney basin including the Central Coast. NSW Fair Trading administers pest management licensing for the Central Coast and all NSW.
