How long for pinworms to die?

I treated me and my daughter for pinworms infection roughly 12 hours ago so it's very early, but they're driving me insane. Does anyone know how long it takes for them to all die and this horrid crawling sensation to stop?

I've washed the bedsheets, vacuumed and quarantined the stuffed toys. Just wish I could sleep!

From experience with my kids around 24 to
48 hrs..... A dollop of vaseline around the 'area in question' eases the itching as they get suck.
