1st eviction, tenant damages

I just had my first eviction and was wondering what would be considered damages? They were month to month and was not evicted for non payment rather other lease violations. Eviction process started in April and yesterday he turned keys in at court. My question is what can I go after for damages? Or is some of this considered “normal wear and tear”

Can I go after a full months rent for May and even June if it takes that long to fix everything?

They had a bed bug infestation had would smash and smear them all over the walls, can I charge them for the cost of a painter to paint?

They left furniture and stuff in the unit, can I charge them for getting that cleaned and hauled away?

They had a dog and left feces on the carpet along with other stains, can that be replaced at their expense?

The dog gnawed on the cabinet doors can new cabinets be charged?

There is a hole in the tub can I get them for that?
