A few things...
Traps, snares, guns, fireworks: all these are temporary, require constant vigilance.
Dogs: they do most of the work, but require care, it's a pretty good trade.
Fence: expensive, but then you basically sit back and relax -- and it works for things other than pigs.
Note that the pigs currently digging will remember where your yard is, and they will try to breach the fence. This lasts until next season, new pigs don't know about your yard, will follow the fenceline off to the adjacent lots.
Installers will be cheapest if the fenceline has good access.
