This may be my Australian[1] heritage talking here, but if you live in an area with venomous arthropods of any significance, you should be checking in your house for dangerous animals. Same if you live with venomous snakes, really, depending on the age and style of your house.
We in colder climates are positively spoiled by the rarity of human-dangerous venomous animals.
[1] Half Australian. Spent enough time there to knock my shoes out before donning them and never reach into sheltered spots without poking them with a stick. I don't do it here in Canada inside the house because I live in a hermetically sealed fortress surrounded by sub-arctic weather, but outside in the yard... (We don't have dangerous spiders or snakes in this area, but old habits die hard when ignoring them can mean death)
