Have you got a young son you can bribe to do it? Give him a scraper and tell him not to damage the floorboards.
(that's how my dad did it)

petrol melts 90% of most glues spill it on and wait ten mins and it should just lift out and most car carpets shrink when you wash them out the car as
i found out.(.but the fumes will make you ill.)

Heating *GENTLY* with a heat gun seems to work on most solvents. It won't remove the gum from the floor, but that could be cleaned up with some
ethanol, Cillit bang, etc.
