Some pretty varied responses here, and many (not all) don't seem to really address your problem as it exists today. Here's what I would do. Use a Gate/expander. Set it to downward expand the squeaks, rather than cut them off entirely. Now, if the squeaks are so loud that you can't set a reliable threshold, then you can try keying the gate off of a cloned track EQ'ed (HPF and LPF) to isolate the loudest squeak frequencies. If one or two instances are being stubborn, use automation to nudge your threshold. Sometimes ya gotta step backward in order to step forward...
