Creaking from bb/cranks

[woodies92]

Hi my bike (01 rockhopper) has started creaking rather badly from the crank/bb area. It hasn't been serviced in years so is in need of some work but i'm hoping i can remedy this creaking with out new parts. Can i get some grease or something that will cure it or do i need to replace it?

Thanks
Woody
