I live in a 3 story town house where the common living areas (living room and kitchen) are on the 2nd floor. There are certain random areas on the 2nd floor that tend to squeak when you walk over them… coincidentally areas that have higher foot traffic.

Does anyone know any methods or ways to address this problem without having to tear up and/or replace the wood floors??

Sprinkle lock lubricant or powdered graphite into the joints between the floorboards. Then place a cloth over the boards and walk back and forth to work the powdery lubricant down into the cracks. This will reduce wood-on-wood friction between the planks and silence small squeaks. Finish by using a damp cloth to remove any remaining powder from the floor.

If graphite didn't work then search the "Money Pit" files
where I remember several programs gave solutions

I've dealt with squeaky floors before, and it's so annoying! One method I've tried is using a special floor adhesive, like Squeak No More, that you can inject between the boards without removing the floor. It worked pretty well for me. Btw, I discovered it among the Fifty Floor reviews, so other people also found it helpful.

won't that just leave a bunch of holes in the wood floors?

thats for carpet.

and the guy in the video seemed incredibly sure of himself.. or he was an actor who thought he was showing up to a serious gig, found out its an online infomercial, so he went 100% sarcastic...

Not really any way to solve the problem if it is wood floor and not a subfloor with carpet. The above product works perfectly for those. I have never had a wood floor that did not squeak, pop, bang, rub, or make some kind of noise.
