Wireless LAN technology uses an open media (the radio frequency). Other than shielding your entire house in a closed metal cage, you cannot prevent anyone from accessing it. However, you should enable solid security using WPA based on a strong (=long and difficult to guess) password to prevent anyone but those knowing the password from using your wireless network.

You can't stop them from trying (except when building a Faraday's cage around your house), but you can prevent them from succeeding.
