is that just wrapped some teflon tape to the area?

I don't know that you can get Teflon tape. You can get blocks and rods of the stuff on ebay pretty easy, it's just a hard plastic block. Then machine it to the right shape. Probably you would have to make a custom stand to accept the machined Teflon bearing then put the wheel on that. Pretty involved to exterminate a squeak... I'd just put them in the garage... lol.

Teflon tape is a good idea. I haven't tried it, but I think it would work. Not sure how long it would last. I also don't know if it would be dangerous to the critters if/when they decided to eat some of it.

Teflon tape is inexpensive and readily available at Home Depot, in the plumbing section. Super easy to use too.
