Use a microscope, 100%.

Plus most humans are capable of killing, so 100% on that count too.

Plus if you look hard enough and get paranoid then any little bug will look like a killer - 100% again.

Sorry had to get it out my system!

Minute %

Believe me, when you live here you do not stress every single minute of every single day that there might be a venomous snake/spider/whatever lurking to jump out and bite you

In my house, it's zero. The poisonous things hang out in the garden, lurking beneath the ground waiting to chomp on you.
I found a funnel web yesterday whilst mowing but it was more intent on escaping the whirling blades of death that were hovering nearby. Can't think why. It was only small anyway.
We get the odd spider inside but nothing poisonous, but then if you're going down that route, can you quantify what you mean by poisonous in the first place?
I mean, we might have spiders which will make you feel ill for a couple of days if they bit you... bit of a headache, type thing, but that's most spiders.
Anyway, serious answer to a bit of a daft question but I understand why you're asking. You want to know the risk of death by living out here... Well it's pretty slim.

100% everyone in OZ would have some venomous spiders like redbacks, huntsmans, funnel webs in their house or backyard and with the drought snakes are coming into suburban areas crawling under doors into houses looking for water.
