   Squeaky floor

   Is the squeak in one spot or in several places?

   More questions

   How thick is the hardwood?

   Is there access from below?

   What do you have as a subfloor?

   Hardwood floor squeak

   I presume you do not have access from below without some involvement.  If it is between two end pieces I have heard that working talcum powder into the crack, sometimes works. The other solution is face nailing a  2  to 2 1/2 inch ring shank finish nail on an angle, sinking it just below the surface and filling the hole with a matching shade of filler.

   i would have to say your best chance, unfortunately is face nailing and coloured wax. try to nail in the darker areas of the wood grain cuz the dark wax will blend away better

   Trim screws may be a better bet.

   Try talcum powder in the cracks first.

   The type of fix depends on what is causing the squeak. There are about four different causes.
