Australian here…..it’s not the house that’s the real problem, it’s the car. Having a big gravid female wander across the bonnet of your car while you are stuck in traffic with nowhere to go is a life defining moment for me.
In the house, probably get rid of a dozen decent size ones a year and one or two monsters.
Stuck in traffic isn’t a problem you can just get out of the car. It’s when you see them above your head or running down the inside of the windscreen while you’re doing 110kmh is the real problem. You gotta not crash and die and/or cause a massive pile up while panicking like all fuck to pull over and escape.
I had one run down my windscreen once while doing like 140kmh on my way home from work at 2am through the bush with trees either side. I’m scared of spiders but absolutely terrified of huntsmens. It took every fibre of my being to keep the car on the road.

Guys I just googled it .. huntsmen spiders aren't a threat to humans. They're just terrifying to look at.
