We've been having similar trouble. Currently, we have 6-8 pigs each night. They devour the garden, tear up the lawn and injury our fruit trees. Here's what we came up with for our list of options. Purchase big dog to frighten pigs, purchase big rifle to shoot pigs, purchase electric fence to shock pigs or build strong fence to keep out pigs. After momentarily being sold on each of the above options, we finally settled on building a strong fence. It's a work in progress and materials aren't cheap. So far we've spent approx. $3,000 on materials alone (for a fence that covers only the essential portions of the property).
Best wishes in your pig project,

p.s. Keep in mind that having pig trappers over means inviting total strangers to roam around your place. Seems like a good way to set yourself up for theft.
