The best stuff I ever found to keep ants at bay was this weird stick of chalk I picked up in a Chinese market. It looks like a regular stick of white chalk and comes in a green box. You just draw around where the ants are coming in...the ants will not cross that chalk line. It's also safe for pets (since you now have a cat to worry about). If you find yourself near an Asian market soon, you might want to go pick some up to keep on hand. It really helps for those times when the ant spray wears off.

And yes, your landlord absolutely should get an exterminator out there immediately. They may not make it as high of a priority as you'd like, so keep pestering them until they fix it. Ants can carry diseases and allergens, and they're considered a safety hazard.
