wallpaper stripper without the pad on but use the open end of the steam tube held over and in contact with the gum for 10/15 seconds, the gum will soften, scrape off onto tissue and clean residue with solutions eco spotter or similar, then clean the carpet as usual.  best of luck, worst job in the world!!
