Our area rug, that sits on top of a berber rug , develops a bump daily. How do get it out?

Hi Pat,
It probably needs a non-slip rug pad that will grip the other rug as well. Click below for a link that explains how another lady used a rubber mat made for use in cabinets. Wishing you the best.

Also, you can try strong double sided tape.
I would advise to take the body out and bury it.
I had a similar bump in my area rug as well. I used a steamer and went slowly over half the rug where the bump was. I might have worked 30 min. to make sure the rug was wet enough to remove the bump and stretch the surrounding rug so it laid flat again. So far, it has continued to lie flat. Then maybe the tape could help retain the shape.
Why isn't there some furniture sitting on the rug? Even rugs on solid floors do not require a rug pad if there is furniture on them. It most likely slides because of the backing and movement on the rug. The reply about removing the body underneath the rug was hilarious, sorry! Seriously, an inexpensive rug pad could help. Good luck
use doublesides carpet tape.
Yes, sometimes it does take getting rid of the problem. Glad it worked out.
