My brakes have been squeaking for a while now, and now it's getting worse. Is there something I could spray on them to make it stop, or do I need new pads?

Try cleaning the pads/disc surface good with Brake Parts Cleaner. Some pads are just plain noiser than others, but usually its a result of dirt buildup. Espeically between the caliper and the pad-backing.

Need more info..........when did this start? Are they original pads? How much pad is left to them? Did you just change them? What kind of pads are you using? Did you resurface the brake rotors when you changed your pads (your always supposed to!)?
Spraying stuff on them to quiet them down is just a patch up job! The problem will still be there. It will start doing it again sooner or later if you do that. Do you know if the low pad indicator tabs are touching the rotors? If so, you need a brake job.
Need more info to answer your question more accurately.

These pads last a really long time. Mine were squeeking a little at around 60K, so I went ahead and bought the pads assuming that I needed new ones. When I took the brakes apart there was so little wear that I just cleaned them up real good and lubricated the slides, slapped them back together. No more squeeks and got my money back for the pads.
