They will disappear as soon as there is nothing left on the shells.

And for next time, make sure to scrub the egg shells out really well before you use them. I always do this before putting them in the compost pile, since I was just attracting raccoons. I clean every bit of the soft material and there is nothing but hard shell. It attracts nothing.
