They're also not that hard to beat in assault for most armies. Granted with Grey Knights, you may end up with some naked paladins (other GKs will just be dead if they fail), but if you're IDing a swarm per attack, hitting on 3s, wounding on 2s or 3s (depending on if hammer hand is available, I'd save my psychic power for Force weapons), they'll go down fairly fast especially once you factor in Fearless.
I must admit I charged them (19 Bases) with a marine bike squad (plus cmdr with relic balde) took my assault phase and their assault phase to kill em all off.

Gonna run a dedicated purgation squad with incinerators in a stormraven and dreadnought with assault cannon and strength six flamer. Basically pull up in front, disembark, flame into oblivion. Once swarm is gone, no fearing of spawning them onto me. Opponent is running 30x bases and 9x spyders. Dread knight with hvy incinerator and psycannon can help clean up to. The scarab farm is most of his army. The rest of my list can deal with everything else he has.

Sensible Scarab farm runs:
10 Scarabs
9 Spyders
2x6 Wraiths
So you may deal with the Scarabs but the wraiths will get you :P
9 Spyders seriously thats rediculous? However What are you running out of curiosity? GK hardly have problems with anything as your psychannons instant death a base of scarabs per hit, considering how much of str6+ shots you can put out on both spyders who have only 2 wounds and poor swarms you shouldnt really have a problems. NEcron player is seriously gimping themselves by running 3 units of scarabs and skipping wraiths and other fast attack goodies.
People overestimate the important of templates against scarabs just the weight of fire that a common GK list can put out . should deal with them. Purifiers cleansing flame most of stuff you throw at them will be instant death.
Your not worried by 9 MCs they have 3 wounds each so 27 t6 3+ sv to get through all for under 500pts they are a bargain but grey knights can deal with them depending on how there played but cc is the best option to do so watch out for gloom prisons though.
Spyders fall to mass plasma cannons, same as scarabs. So have fun with your 9 obliterator lash list. A couple units of rapid fire plasma plague marines are nice to have as well, but I usually just stick with the melta.
