Scarab Sages

As title, Can I use a Dispel Magic to remove a summoned creature? Not to counter the spell, but to dispel the summoning after the creature arrives?

Good call.

It's actually in the text of the "Dispel Magic" spell.

If you target an object or creature that is the effect of an ongoing spell (such as a monster summoned by summon monster), you make a dispel check to end the spell that conjured the object or creature.
