I tend to get a lot of the Giant House Spiders crawling up the sewer pipe into the bath tub in this house, and there are always crickets in the basement... I find it odd that I never hear the crickets like one would outdoors, but they "appear" to be the very same species... perhaps the small environment makes it unnecessary to call out?
The only other spiders that I regularly see here are those little jumping spiders and they never cause a problem unless one is trekking across (or through) the bedding and I happen to roll on top of it/them... those little buggers can have a very itchy bite, and not just one bite either... but our spiders are pretty tame compared to the monsters that the folks in Oz have to deal with. (or places closer to the equator)
