re: Wild hogs chomp and stomp their way through $90 million worth of Louisiana crops

You incentivize killing the hogs. The only people with direct skin in the game are already fighting the war, but it isn't enough. Others aren't motivated enough to keep up the pace needed to curb the problem. There are historical accounts of ridding an ecosystem of invasive, destructive species, but it is usually a complicated, drawn out, and expensive process.

In my area the people who have problems with them on their place see them as a revenue stream...they charge people to hunt them. They are more interested in making a couple of thousand dollars a year than they are in keeping a destructive as hell animal off their place. I have seen this in Texas and New Mexico as well. frick the landowners, if they want to charge people willing to take some out let them deal with it the best they can.
