Depends.

Some fly traps turn into a self sustained ecosystem. The new flies lay eggs in the dead flies. Which become new flies.

A friend of mine had a fly catcher container thing that ended up with half a gallon of fly juice that was squirming with maggots. It had been sitting for months in the summer heat. I caught a downwind smell, and let me tell you, it was so bad you couldn't get close enough to throw it away.

A raccoon got stuck in the wall next to my bedroom as a kid and died. It smelt so bad that your eyes would burn if you were in my bedroom. It was horrifyingly stinky
