After being spayed he should stop spraying because he is no longer producing hormones . Just be patient and refer your question to a professional such as your veterinarian and follow his advice .
Male cats spray to mark their surroundings (territory/home, etc.). The annoying odor is due to the hormones in the cat's urine. If a cat is neutered before maturity (usually 7-9 months of age), there is little likelihood that a male will have the "urge" to spray due to the lack of this hormone.

Why do neutered male cats spray?
Male cats spray as they are more territorial than uneutured male cats. Also I think it may have something to do with attracting a mate. However, some neutered males will still spray if neutered later in life, mainly because it is now "habit". You might need to teach the cat that spraying is not acceptable.

How can you stop male cats from spraying around your front door of your home?
This is an act of defining his territory , you might want to check if there are any male or female cats wondering outside the house , their presence might be the cause. Also I read from somewhere that when neutering wasn't performed satisfactorily, they may still retain the trait of unneutered (same with spaying). If there are some tissues left over or something, that can cause them act as if they aren't neutered. But most likely the cat's feeling some outdoor cat around the house and being defensive.

How do you get a neutered male cat to stop spraying inside the house if three neutered males are present and it happens when everyone is asleep?
There are many reasons this could be happening. If you brought another cat in (whether it's male or female) then the two you have at home aren't going to like it and are gingerly marking their territory. You can go to the vets and ask questions and they do have some good sprays to use. Meanwhile, clean up the spray as usual, then mix vinegar in warm water and soak a clean cloth in it, ring it out and rub on the surface, then pat dry. This will help to break-down the pH level in the urine. Good luck

Free advice on does neutering of male cats stop spraying?
Neutering has absolutely nothing to do with it. The cat is simply marking its territory. When cats spray, they leave a scent that warns approachers that the spray site is his property. To stop it, buy a cat pheromone and plug it in (it's like an air freshener you plug into an outlet) where he frequently sprays. He may be spraying becuase he is re-enforcing his claim because of a threat, like a dog, child, or frequent trespasser. The pheromone will calm him down when he comes near, and may not spray. Aslo, place more litter boxes throughout the house in areas that are private, uninterrupted, quiet and easily accessable. Show him these places and he might use them. Hope this helps!
