No. Wildlife and pest professionals deal with live animals and seal entry points. You get a cleanup team for carcasses, fluids, nests and odor, and the two services often work together on the same job.
Eventually it fades, but that can take weeks, and fluids that soaked into insulation, carpet or wood keep releasing odor. Removing the animal and treating the area is much faster than waiting.
The crew follows the odor, checks vents, attic access and crawl spaces, and looks for flies and stains. Sometimes a small camera or a small opening in drywall is needed. Once the animal is found, it is removed and the area is cleaned.
