Maggots can begin to appear on a decomposing body within 24 to 48 hours after death, depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. Flies, particularly blowflies, are typically the first to arrive, laying eggs that hatch into maggots. These maggots then start feeding on the decaying tissue, accelerating the decomposition process. The specific timeline can vary based on factors like the location and the presence of other scavengers.

The smell from a decomposing possum can linger for several weeks, especially if maggots are present, as they indicate the body is still breaking down. Once the body is completely decomposed and the maggots have emerged as flies, the odor should gradually dissipate. To speed up the process, it's essential to remove any remnants of the carcass and clean the area thoroughly. After cleanup, using odor neutralizers can help eliminate any remaining smells.
