If there is a smell or critters in the compost there is a problem and the the composting is not being done correctly. To prevent smell, the pile should be turned daily and should heat up to 120 -170 degrees in 2-4 days. All organic matter should be chopped in into small pieces. No meats, fats or animal waste.
