Well, anything that decomposes will smell. So if it's in your house, you'll be dealing with the smell of death (literally).
Worse, if you use sticky traps and leave them they will try everything they can to get out. That includes gnawing at their limbs to set themselves free. So not only will you likely need to find the mouse if it's not in the trap, but also the mess left behind from its struggle.
Please don't use sticky traps. It's a lot less jarring to deal with a dead mouse/rat in a snap trap than a struggling dying one in a sticky trap.
