...you have very very fundamental misunderstandings about how spiders and snakes work.
They don't stalk people, they don't deliberately seek out human habitats - quite the opposite in fact - and you pretty much have to provoke them into attacking.
Around 3,000 snakebites are reported in Australia per year. We have a population of over 26 million. You're more likely to get bitten by a meth head
Provoking, such as getting too close to them because you don't see them?
No.
