EA Staff (Retired)If you have either cheap air unit - Talon for GDI or Viper for Nod - you can trade against scarabs by simply doing a flyover. The scarab will set its own hex on fire, killing the other one as well.
You can actually make the scarab player kill their own units this way - if they ever have a scarab next to another ground unit, if you fly over the adjacent ground unit the scarab will blow them up as well.
Since scarabs are 30 and the cheap copters are 30, this is an even trade, but made better for you since scarabs are very slow to get into position while copters are fast. If you take the spot they were guarding with the scarabs you should be able to keep them from ever setting up there again.
