I don't know how, but i got pinworms have taken albendazole tablets 400mg at an intervals of 10 days for 2 months,but i think it has returned as i am still gassy.what should i do at home to remove them completely?

Not all anal itching is pinworms. If you have not been tested and proven they are really there all the PW pills you take will not fix the problem. Food allergies, localized fungal or bacterial infection and other triggers can produce similar symptoms. PW infection is unusual in adults.
