Has that ever happened? The most my dogs have ever gone for was a chicken bone out on the street while we were walking. I've never seen a scorpion on either our designer or this CYV property, and since the dogs are supervised while outside, I would pull them in when Mr. snake (black garter) occasionally comes around. Palm rats... we got rid of the palm tree after the rats invaded the garage. Don't put a palm tree in. They grow bigger than the house, are expensive to maintain, and house little rats.
Don't change your search. All the "disasters" listed have never happened to us in the last 12 years. I love having free reign for our pups out on the patio. If you plan on sitting outside, it is nice to have them with you. When we sit on the front porch, we have to have them on lines or leashes.
