They are predators so they roam for food. Many times they roam into your house, or maybe into the 1st floor laundry room or shipping/receiving area where fresh laundry is delivered.

They also are pretty stout climbers and would have no problems getting aboard a basket or stack of fresh towels.

They also sit around during the day, so they would just ride around on the laundry cart until they get delivered to your room.

Lastly, they are small and barely noticeable. It’s not like a black ant that obviously sticks out on the floor or on a sheet.

Lastly they are dumb. They sting first, ask questions later.
