In the Rohan appendix, Tolkien makes a reference to Eomer hunting the last remnants of Orcs with Aragorn. I imagine they were finished off rather quickly without Sauron.

I dont think Aragorn even botherd himself with hunting down orcs. It is genicide whiping out a whole rase, even as bad one as the orcs. Aragorn would not like to have a reputation as being "The Exterminator", or something like that. Personally I think most of the surviving orcs after the downfall of sauron fled to the far east and north and abode there, without having the manpower and courage to strike back at Gondor and Rohan. Perhaps they eradicated each other fighting internal wars.
