You can drill two holes - one small and all the way through to a joist and another larger and half way though. Drill a screw into the hole until it seats and pulls the tread down tight. Fill the larger hole with a plug - a small piece of wood that matches and sand it down flush. Stain over the plug and no more squeaks.
