Yes, just 1 left.

In Oregon, we twice found large, black scorpions in the kitchen sink. Not native; and I had custom fitted & customised the cabinetry myself, after having built the house, so I don’t know where they came from, or how; but the garbage disposer ate them. We also found a third one on our bed upstairs. All we could figure was that some eggs got brought back in/on something we bought on a Caribbean cruise.

In So-Cal, we would periodically get a tarantula skittering across the floor.

But this is the first time anywhere we have had a snake—and a large one at that— in a house. OTOH, we do have a family of tiger salamanders living in the sub-basement, where the water tanks are.

Well, they do seem to be able get in somehow. Shame about the chicks. Are you going to get some more?
