Is there a quick and easy way to get rid of pinworms with household items?

Careful: Would suggest caution with use of household disinfectants. Would suggest a visit with your doc or an urgent care to substantiate the infection with the help of a stool sample. Treatment is as simple as taking a pill 2 weeks apart once a diagnosis becomes clear.

Pinworms: Agree with Dr. Dr. Silviu Pasniciuc. Pyrantel (Pin X) can be used to treat pin worms and is available over the counter. Eating Coconuts is reported to expel pin worms (but I can't vouch for this).
