STEP 1: Keep all pet food indoors. Pigs have an acute sense of smell and are attracted by the scent of any kind of food.
STEP 2: Keep garbage cans under lock and key. A securely fenced garbage area will keep all kinds of creatures at bay. Use a bungee cord to secure garbage can lids. It's easy pickings for a pig to toss a garbage can.
STEP 3: Surround your garden with fine plastic mesh. Lay it low on the ground so that it is 2 to 4 inches above the soil. Plants will grow through the mesh, but it works as a barrier. Pigs will not traverse an area where their feet may become entangled.
STEP 4: Eliminate grubs from your lawn by applying beneficial nematodes or soapy water. The soapy water will not harm the soil. Apply it when the sun is high in the sky and earthworms are deep in the soil.
STEP 5: Turn compost piles frequently so that kitchen waste is composted quickly. The scent of grapefruit rinds or egg shells is very attractive to hungry pigs. Compost decomposes much faster when turned daily.
STEP 6: Use a motion detection sprinklers or lighting to deter unwanted nocturnal visitors. Place these devices where pigs have been active. The sprinklers work on battery power with a light beam that - when broken - will emit strong and sudden burst of water.

The farm and ranch supply places sell a special fencing called hog fencing. But any good, strong fencing that has small holes should do. When I had regular pigs I used the Hog Fencing and it worked well. Whatever fencing you do choose, remember to bury it 8-12 inches deep. Don't skimp on this. Remember pigs like to root with there noses. Wild pigs are worse than domesticated ones when it comes to digging because they have better use of there tusks. And space your fence posts a little closer together and make sure you string the fence tight. Use a fence stretcher if you have to. Make sure the corners are re-enforced. The pigs will be rubbing the heads up against the fence. And the suggestion to turn them into bacon is a good one, if you can. Used to hunt wild pigs back in my 20's. Mighty good eating, especially smoked with apple wood.
