We perform numerical analysis to study the orbits described by subwavelength size particles interacting with structured light beams. Our solution to the particle dynamics considers: (i) the gradient force, (ii) the radiation pressure, and (iii) the force from the curl of the spin angular momentum. The last two terms, (ii) and (iii), constitute the scattering forces. The optical structures of interest are vortices, vector, and Full-Poincar\'{e} beams. From our numerical results, we show that the particle is expelled from the beam, independent of the gradient force intensity if some of the scattering forces have cylindrical symmetry. Furthermore, we found spiral orbits for some particular conditions and types of Full-Poincare beams.
