You could open it up and apply some oil/grease/WD-40, or if you don't want to open the mouse up you could just squirt some WD-40 on the sides of the wheel and let it drip down into the turning mechanism.

WD-40 should not be used as a general-purpose lubricant, as it dries out very quickly and collects dust.
use a lightweigh oil.

I think the common household product that would be most suited is called 3-in-1 Oil. (coincidently owned by the company that owns wd-40).Sage2050 said:

I would take it apart, no need to worry about the warranty 
, and see if you can find what about the wheel is squeaking or put some kind of lubricant to delay it. I think in the case of mice, getting a cheap one can still last just as long as a more expensive model. I have a generic PS/2 mouse that came with a very old HP and it still works fine on my secondary rig
