A lot. From chewing wires to leaving feces in the walls. Set traps and kill them before something bad happens to the house.

A lot. They can pretty much chew thru anything. We've had mice chew thru drywall and wood. I imagine if you let them continue chewing they will chew until the house collapses. They are relentless.

Lots. But the worse is probably when they chew through wires! Down go electrical connections, telephone connections, cable connections, etc.... And if it's electrical and they get ZAPPED then you have that dead rotting smell to deal with. Ugh!

they gnaw on the isolation of electric circuits so that your whole house might burn down...
But they are also friendly pets, just leave them alone. They need a place to live, too.
