Is there any way I can keep throw rugs with rubber backs from creeping on the carpet?

I use throw rugs in high traffic areas to save the carpet but I am forever having to reposition them. Each step moves them just slightly and at the end of the day, they're out of position.

1. Double-Sided Carpet Tape
2. Try putting some duct tape on the corners and in middle.
3. Nail em down. :)
4. Its really hard to keep rugs from sliding on the carpet. You could carpet tape to hold it down. You could get a carpet pad, a pad that holds rugs down on hardwood floors (I'm not sure what the name of them is) or if you have a plywood under lament, you could always use tacks or brad nails from a nail gun and tack down the edges. I don't know if that would work, but that is probably what I would do if I were you. Things like that really tick me off because there is nothing more you can do than these suggestions.
