How do I safely and cheaply remove pine tree sap from a short pile carpet?

My suggestion would be to toss some ice in a plastic bag and place it on the sappy parts of your carpet. Pitch is similar to gum, and to remove gum off clothing you freeze it and simply peel off. Never run into the pitch problem but that is what I would first try.
Just used cutters insect repellant, sprayed it on the car where the sap was, rubbed very hard, it all came off!
