    They might be drain flies, though they aren't usually that small. It's possible they had time to lay eggs before the cleanup in areas that weren't cleaned. Put up fly strips where you see them most and hope the cleanup will stop more from invading. If that doesn't work, repost under this question or in Pest Control (Home & Garden).
